- I just experienced the following with a Microcom Deskporte FAST+ modem:
- I need synchronous operation on a leased line with dial backup and password
- protection:
-
- Modems were delivered with firmware version 3.1: Dial backup had not been
- tested (apparently) and did not work.
-
- Upgraded to version 3.3: now dial backup does not work, when connection
- password is used, and the AT&F does not restore all defaults.
-
- Microcom tells us, that they don't want to fix it (even if it is part of the
- specifications).
-
- Now you know, why we are looking for other modems.
-
- By the way there is a secret command which clears ALL internal registers:
- AT%<1532> response: ERROR
- ATZ
