Solving Modem Problems
Continued
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Modem does
not connect at
highest speed.
Line conditions in your
area or in the area you
are calling may not
support the highest
connect speeds.
Have your telephone line
checked by your local
telephone service provider.
Try dialing an alternate
telephone number for the
service you are using.
Another device on your
telephone line may be
causing interference.
Hang up an extension
telephone and disconnect
any other devices that may
be using the same
telephone line, then redial.
The service or site
called does not
support 56K or
supports an
incompatible 56K
implementation.
An internal modem supports
K56flex.
To find an Internet service
provider (ISP) that supports
K56flex, go to the Compaq
Web site at
www.compaq.com.
There is noise on the
telephone line.
The 56K protocol of an
internal modem will fall back
to lower speeds if the
telephone line is too noisy
for a high-speed
connection.
Try using another telephone
line.
The telephone line
does not support 56K
implementation.
The 56K protocol requires
that the telephone line
contain no more than one
analog-to-digital conversion.
Try connecting from an
alternate site.
