If you set the Level switch too high, you will hear feedback such as a buzz or loud squeal through the modem speaker when your modem is off-hook. If you hear feedback, set the Level switch to the next lower setting - using the sequence 2, 3, 1, 4 until the feedback disappears. For example, if the Level switch is set to 2 and you hear feedback, set it to 3. If you still hear feedback, set it to 1. If feedback continues, set it to 4.

Autodialing Many telephone systems will not support autodialing (the ability to have the modem/fax dial the number of the system you are trying to connect with). You can perform a simple test to find out if the phone system the KONEXX product is connected to will support autodialing. The test is accurate for about 95% of the phone systems and is only viable in the United States. The test is referred to as the dial tone time out test (DTT) and is performed as follows: 1.
♦ Converts the 4-wire handset jack to a 2-wire RJ-11 jack. ♦ Transforms the handset impedance to telephone line impedance, and vice versa. ♦ Transforms the handset signal levels to modem signal levels, and vice versa. ♦ Uses the Level switch to match the modem signal to the telephone being used. This four-position switch handles most telephones. ♦ Operates at data rates up to 33.6 Kbps (kilobits per second). ♦ Works with virtually all telephones that have a modular handset.
