DOCUMENT:Q108416 15-DEC-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :Windows NT Card File Fails to Autodial Some Modems
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
In Windows NT, the Cardfile can be used to store phone numbers and Auto-
dial by using the F5 key. However, this may not work with all modems. The
same modem may work with the Terminal program but may not work with the
Cardfile Autodial feature.
CAUSE
=====
Some modems must have DTR (Data Terminal Ready) set high before they will
dial or accept commands from the computer. Cardfile does not raise DTR.
RESOLUTION
==========
Force DTR to always be high on the modem. There may be different ways to do
this on different modems. Some modems are configurable with dip switch
settings while others can be configured with savable AT commands. Please
see your modem documentation for the proper procedure.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
Assume the phone numbers are already stored in Cardfile.
NOTE: You need a Hayes or Hayes-compatible modem to dial a number on a
card.
1. Select the card that contains the number you want to dial.
2. From the Card menu, choose Autodial. In the Number box, Cardfile
displays the first number it finds.
3. Type a new number, if necessary.
4. To use a prefix with the number in the Number box, select the Use Prefix
check box. Change the prefix, if necessary.
5. To set up the modem, choose the Setup button, and then select the
appropriate modem options.
6. Choose the OK button.
Modem may not dial.
