Greetings all,
I currently have two separate issues that I am trying to resolve with
incoming connections. Information is as follows:
OS: WinXP Pro (2002 version) with SP3
Modem Type: CDMA Wireless Modem
I have no problem with the "Outgoing" connection set up through the
Network Connection Wizard. The issue is that when I set up the
incoming connection - 2 things seem to happen. 1) The user defined
initialization string appears to run but is then over written by some
other process (which I cannot track down) and 2) Once I create the
incoming connection, I can no longer connect to the modem via Hyper
Terminal to check the settings (I get an error saying another program/
device is using the modem and to close it).
These are the following steps I performed to create the incoming
connection:
1) Install the wireless CDMA modem using the Add Hardware Wizard.
Hardware Connected>Add new device>Manually Select
Hardware>Modems>Don't Detect>Have Disk>Chose the .inf file for the
wireless CDMA modem>Selected Port=Com1>Driver not signed by
Microsoft>Continue Anyway>Finish. I can run Hyper Terminal
(Test>Ok>Com1>Set modem speed, 8,N,1) and run AT commands to check
settings. By default, the CDMA modem is set to ATS0=0 (no Automatic
Answer). No I can run AT+CICB=0 and ATS0=2&W to write it to memory and
appears to take. No issues at this point.
2) Create the "Outgoing" connection via Wizard: Connect to
Internet>Setup manually>Connect using dial-up>Name "Outgoing">Phone
#777 (Verizon network)>No username/password and check to use this
account name/pass and make default internet connection>Add shortcut
(modem dials out without any problems)
3) Create the "Incoming" connection via wizard: Set up an advanced
connection> Accept incoming connections> Selected MutiTech Systems
CDMA Wireless Modem from list of connection devices> Select Do not
allow VPN
Connections> User Permissions: Allowed to connect: Administrator
(password set for this account)> Networking Software: TCP/IP, Qos
Packet Scheduler, File and Printer Sharing, Client for MS Networks
(all checked by default and nothing else changed here)> Finish
Once the above connection is created - the TR (Terminal Ready) light
comes on. If I try to connect to the modem with Hyper Terminal - I now
get an error that says the device is already in use...hmmm...
4) Since the modem by default is set to ATS0=0, I perform the
following steps to add extra initialization strings to make sure the
modem is in the proper mode and set for autanswer: Control Panel>
SystemProperties> Hardware> Device Manager> Modems> MultiTech> <right
click>Properties> Advanced> Extra Initialization commands:
“S0=0+CICB=0” (without the quotes of course and should set the typeof
incoming calls to data – we are dialing in to the system with a
regular modem)>OK>OK
5) Under Network Connections, <right click> Networking> Click on TCP/
IP> Properties> Checked “Allow callers to access my local network”>
Specify TCP/IP range >OK>OK
6) Control Panel> <double click> System> Remote> Checked box to
“Allow users to connect remotely to this computer”
After the above setup – the incoming connection will work 1 time and
will not work after that. Rebooting the system to restart everything
and reinitialize the modem does not work.
In order to get HyperTerminal to connect to COM1, I have to delete the
incoming connection from network connections.
The following are the modem settings, I ran hyper terminal to get the
following information:
Software Version: AT+CGMR: S/W VER: WISMOQ WZ3.03K Feb 21 2007
09:53:24 (latest drivers)
Capabilities List: AT+GCAP: +CGSM, +CIS707-A, +MS, +ES, +DS, +FCLASS
Phone Functionality: AT+CFUN?: +CFUN:1
Now if I leave HyperTerminal running and dial into the modem, the
modem returns the following: RING ASYNC - So I know the modem is at
least acknowledging it has an incoming call but appears that the
previous setting for auto answer did not take.
So from the Device Manager, I run the diagnostic and set run the log.
The following is the output after I reboot the system:

Short recap: Before I create the incoming connection, I use Hyper
Terminal to connect to COM1 (which CDMA wireless modem is connected)
to set CICB=0 and ATS0=2 and write to memory. I create the incoming
connection and add "S0=2+CICB=0" to the Extra initialization commands
in case the settings do not take. When the system gets rebooted, the
command runs but something overrides the custom initialization plus
the TR light on the modem goes solid. If I try to connect with Hyper
Terminal (COM1), I get an error that it is already in use and to close
the other program. So I have to delete the incoming connection from
network connections to get it to release and for Hyper Term to
connect. Started to think that maybe the incoming connection was
running the ATS0=0 command, but even if I delete the incoming
connection setting, I still receive the above output. Needless to say,
this defeats the purpose of remote access!
Spent several days and 4 hours with the modem tech support and they
are as befuddled as I am.
My apologies for the long post - but hoping someone is sees something
we are missing.
Thanks,
Richard
