Have a new problem, fitted 3 x Securakey 28 SA Plus card readers. All networked up so can play with them from the laptop. Door open times new cards deleting ect the usual stuff.

Now we have fitted the U S Robotics V.92 modems to the systems other data bus line. Programmed lap top to dial up site telephone number, and the modem wont snatch the line. Spoken to suppliers and they say baud rates need to be matched......I say it has to pick up the line before it can establish protocols.

Anybody worked with these modems as stand alone units (as i explained several times to wooden top on other end of phone). With these readers they supposedly get configured from the readers as a auto answer, "Dumb" modem ready to answer any incoming call.

Any help appreciated as we have 4 other building to do and they have even more readers on them, we picked this to start as its only got 3. As stated it all works on the RS232 lines fine, its dialling in thats the problem.

Hi Old Hand,

if it's not dialing, have you tried to set it for dial without line as it might not 'see' the line voltage?

hi james,

i'm not into strings and not a modem 'guru', just many modems have a check box to allow it to dial without a line voltage being present.

see, i don't know everything
