Garbage Characters on the Monitor
• Your computer and the remote computer may be set to different
word lengths, stop bits, or parities. If you have connected at 8-N-
1, try changing to 7-E-1, or vice-versa, using your communications
software.
• You may be experiencing line noise. Enable error correction, if it
is disabled, or hang up and call again; you may get a better
connection.
• At speeds above 2400 bps, the remote modem might not use the
same transmission or error correction standards as your modem.
Try connecting at a slower speed or disabling error correction.
(With no error correction, however, line noise can cause garbage
characters.)
• Try entering the
&V
(View Parameters) command, making a
screen print of the diagnostics listing, and checking for parameters
that may be unacceptable.
