SUMMARY

The Hayes Smartmodem 9600 comes from the factory with error checking on by default (AT&Q5). Error checking must be disabled for the Hayes Smartmodem 9600 to work correctly with the MSMail Dial-In Control Panel device.

To disable error checking permanently for Dial-In use, issue the following commands, using a communications program such as DynaComm, or any other communications program that will echo back entered modem commands. (NOTE: You CANNOT use the Dial-In program to perform this action.)
   AT&Q0 (Write back to ACTIVE PROFILE)
   OK
   AT&W0 (Write back to STORED PROFILE 0)
   OK
   AT&W1 (Write back to STORED PROFILE 1)
   OK
				
The &W command writes the change back to the modem, and saves it in non- volatile RAM for all future Dial-In modem sessions. The modem also has two default profiles, numbered 0 and 1, that can be called up for use.

The W0 command writes the change back to stored profile 0. The W1 command writes back to stored profile 1. By writing back to both stored profiles, this ensures that no problems will arise if another profile is used for data transfer.

The OKs are the result of typing in each of the above AT commands. If an error message is returned after issuing any of the above commands, there may be a problem with the modem, and you should contact Hayes Technical Support.

The Hayes SmartModem is manufactured by Hayes Microcomputer Products, Inc., and DynaComm is manufactured by Future Soft Engineering, Inc., vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
