- 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.

- 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.
