U.S. Robotics I-modem Command Reference
Troubleshooting • Page 15-5
The I-modem behaves as if <Enter> were pressed when you donÕt press any keys
Your software may be misreading signals from the I-modem when the I-modem sends a
Carriage Return and a Line Feed before and after the RING and CONNECT messages.
Sending the Quiet mode command, ATQ1 <Enter>, should solve the problem.
Problems that Occur After Connecting
Your screen displays random or ÒgarbageÓ characters
Make sure the I-modem is set to the same bit rate, word length, parity, and number of Stop
bits as the device to which you are connecting.
If the settings are correct, the problem may be with the phone line. Try the following mea-
sures:
¥ Place the call again. The phone company routes even local calls differently each time
you call.
¥ Call a different device to see if the problem persists. The problem may be with the
device you Þrst tried to call.
