in ready state— “326X
Ready” on front panel
display Check DIP Switch #6 on
modem's rear panel. • Ensure DIP Switch #6 is in the Off (up) position.

While operating the 326X as a dial modem:
ACU
CONFIGURATION
No response to ACU
command Check that TD LED on front
panel lights when commands are
being sent to the modem. • If light does not come on, check that cables are
properly connected.
• Check the communications software package for
correct communications port configuration.
• Check that the communications software package’s
baud rate is set to a rate that the modem’s autobaud
feature supports.
Check modem's configuration:
• DTE Rate (AT * DE)
• ACU Form
• Char Length
• Parity (AT * RP)
• Result Code (ATQ)
• Ensure ACU is compatible with modem's
configuration.
• Make sure the DTE is set to a valid character format
to operate the modem’s autobaud feature
(see Chapter 5 for details on this feature).
• If modem still does not respond after modifying
configuration, perform a local analog loopback
(LAL) test. (Refer to the end of this chapter for
details on tests supported, as well as instructions for
initiating tests.)
• If LAL fails, contact Telenetics Customer Support or
your local distributor.
Double echo on
characters typed Check echo setting on data
terminal equipment and modem. If both echo settings are on, turn one off. (In some data
terminals, echo is sometimes referred to as half- or full-
duplex.) If this does not solve the problem, contact Tele-
netics Customer Support or your local distributor.
Check the terminal setup of the
communications software.
CALL ESTABLISHMENT
Modem won't answer Check the modem's
