REMote
Test
If both of the modems
pass the LOCal Test and data
transmission is still inaccurate, run
the
REMote
Test. This test
loops the RS-232 data from the
modem
receiver
to the driver.
In
doing
so, it
checks the operation of the
modems, terminals, and phone
connections. You'll need the
cooperation
of another person who
is using a modem.
1
.
Establish
communication with
the other person.
2. The other
person should set his/her
TEST Switch to REM (if they are
using a Modem II).
3. Set your TEST Switch
to OFF.
4.
Type some letters
and/or numbers
on your keyboard. If the characters
are displayed first on
the other
Video
Display
and then on
your Display, both systems have
passed the REMote
Test. Repeat the test, reversing
the switches
and
having
the other person type,
just to be sure.
If
the characters don't
appear on both screens,
both
you
and the other
person should repeat
the LOCal
test. If the LOCal
Test does not detect any problems,
but the system
still doesn't
pass the REMote
Test, you've
probably got phone line problems.
If the situation
persists,
contact your phone
company.
