3-29-94 Data Answer
By default AA (AutoAnswer) is OFF (ATS0=0). To turn AA on, ATS0=1. To
set and SAVE, ATS0=1&W. If it has 'stuck' in AA then ATS0=0&W will reset
to not answer, and save it. For a PC usually AT&C1&D2 should also be set.
For a MAC, &C0 or &C1 seems OK, but for AA it must be &D0 (not &D2).
Most software sends ATA to the modem to tell it to answer, when the
modem sends 'RING' to the software. If the software does this, then ATS0=0
is correct.
When the AA LED is off (AutoAnswer off), it should blink ON for each
ring, then type ATA (for manual answer) and the modem will answer. When the
LED is ON (AutoAnswer ON), it should blink OFF for each ring, then it will
answer on the set number of rings.
FAX AutoAnswer
Do NOT put any data software in Host mode or the software or modem in
AA (autoanswer) mode. The FAX software tells the modem to answer when the
modem sends RING to the computer. You only have to have the fax module
loaded to receive the fax. The AA led should be OFF, and blink ON when the
phone rings.
If you have it set and it doesn't answer, then try going into any
terminal mode (data software) and see if the modem prints RING to the
screen when the phone rings. If not, there may be too many devices on the
line, or a conflict preventing the message from getting to the 'screen'.
Fax driver (see software manual) must be loaded to recv a fax. You can
tell most software to manually answer the fax when you hear the 'beeps' on
the phone via a hot-key. >>> Make SURE you don't have both Dos and Windows
fax drivers/TSRs loaded. If they are, neither will answer the fax. <<<
