Terminal's Originate Field May Hang Some Modems

ID: Q85160

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

Microsoft Windows Terminal uses the following originate string for 100- percent Hayes compatible modems:


   ATQ0V1E1S0=0

The following defines the string:


AT - Command prefix; precedes a command line
Q0 - Enables result codes to be issued to the screen
V1 - Instructs the modem to display result codes in the numeric
     format
E1 - Echoes commands to the screen
S0=0 - Register that holds the number of rings the modem waits before
       answering the phone (In this case it is set to zero; the
       modem will not answer the phone.)

This string may hang modems that are not 100-percent compatible. Refer to your modem's manual for your modem's correct originate string.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, disable the originate string:

Run Terminal.

From the Settings menu, choose Modem Commands.

Clear the Originate box.

Choose the OK button.

From the File menu, choose Save to save your changes.
