| MKIIIMan Tl Posts: 12 USA | Posted - 7/18/2004 10:41:02 AM    hey guys, I hope someone here can actually help me out since no one else seems to be able to. I have a USR 5610B (AKA performance pro 56k) which I lost the software disk for soon after I got it. Now, when I moved it to another computer I downloaded all the new drivers, and the USR control center, along with the new firmware flasher and identification wizard. Now, none of these would see my modem for some reason on this new machine. So I brought it back to the old one (origional software now gone on it too) and I was able to flash it to teh newest firmware 5.22.70 but that was it, control center still wouldn't see it. I brought it back to the new computer with the new firmware and it still wouldn't see my modem, the modem indentification thing won't see it either. It will dial out, I can install the newest drivers for it, I can query it fine, everything seems to work accept the control center. So I was looking through the Control Center folder and it doesn't seem to have a .ini for my modem. So if anyone knows what I can do to make it work, or if anyone has an older version of control center I could download and try it would be great! Thanks! -Colin |
| charles Tl Posts: 5879 USA | Posted - 7/18/2004 8:44:57 PM I think you have to flash these modem with windows 98 not xp. How is the modem listed in the device manager? might also make sure you do not have more than one version of this software installed. Note USR states that There are two ways to update your V.92 modem. Select one of the following options: Stand alone flasher: To update your V.92 modem via the stand alone flasher, simply download the flasher below, run the .exe file, and follow the on-screen instructions or ControlCenter:

| MKIIIMan Tl Posts: 12 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 6:59:40 AM Well, I reciently just pulled that modem out of my computer, it was more hassle then is was worth and an $80 modem that didn't even stay connected like my $6 one does. I did actually get the modem to work with control center, it showed up as 56k faxmodem PCI or something. However, I do have a win 98 computer laying around that does actually have a PCI slot in it (used to run win 95) So maybe I'll try that. It does show that it has version 5.22.70 in control center, however, the settings I put into the modem would never stay on the modem after I closed control center. I could save the settings to the modem, and connect using the terminal, but after I connected via windoze I could tell the settings just went out the window. I'll give that 98 machine a shot though. When I look at the modem stats it does show that its version 5.22.70, and also has r -Colin |
| charles Tl Posts: 5879 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 8:53:03 AM Dod you try these setting in extra settings of modem properties. Might also check in windows inf folder for old inf file to this modem from uninstalls. Check winows,inf/other also |
| MKIIIMan Tl Posts: 12 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 9:00:12 AM I did try it but I wasn't really paying attention that much, but it still didn't work the way it did in the terminal. I may have done it wrong, I'm not really sure. -Colin |
| charles Tl Posts: 5879 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 9:41:54 AM If the connection was better in the terminal program I would think it could of been a setting problem in IE or dial up networking. If you use the updated flash you need to use the updated drivers as well.Will your isp support V92? What was the modem commands that you were using? |
| MKIIIMan Tl Posts: 12 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 9:53:52 AM I'm honestly not totaly sure if my ISP supports V.92, if it does I have never really seen a connection from this house that wasn't v.34. (28.8kbps)My ISP if I do an IP search look like their running on tellurian servers which according to this site support V.92. I believe its more the phone lines (I did the test with the USR modem and the lines came out to be kind of sketchy...) I'm using the newest drivers with the newest flash. If I put in those extra settings commands the modem just fails on initializing when I try to dial. -Colin |
| charles Tl Posts: 5879 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 10:10:07 AM If the modem will not dial with the commands is because the modem can not understand the command. This would be the wrong command for the modem or need to reboot after adding the command.Have you tried your connection with the modem connected to the telco box outside or everything removed from there phone jacks?

| charles Tl Posts: 5879 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 11:13:35 AM If you want to disable V92 try this string. Note the spaces in the command. +PIG=1 +PMH=1 +PQC=3 http://modemsite.com/56k/initmagic.asp You could also try these command to see what the modem supports,use in a terminal program. |
| MKIIIMan Tl Posts: 12 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 2:05:16 PM Okay, I'll try connecting to the outside box and seeing what I can get from there. How exactly would you go about this? Just bring the machine outside? haha. You can just hit query modem also to see what it supports right? -Colin |
| charles Tl Posts: 5879 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 2:22:34 PM If it is not to far you can get a 50 foot cord and connect. What this will do is to make sure there is not a problem in the house wiring.Somtime removing all other phones,fax machine,surg device from there phone jacks and connecting the modem right to phone jack by itself.If connection is better plug one device back in at a time and try connection. You can also check the wire connection in the bottom of the telco box to be clean and tight. You can just hit query modem also to see what it supports right? |
| charles Tl Posts: 5879 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 2:55:43 PM You could also dial your isp in hypertermal and check the connection. |
| MKIIIMan Tl Posts: 12 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 2:59:15 PM Alright! I made some progress. What I did was just "reset" the modem with control center and analized those AT commands that it gives you on the bottom. What I didn't know was that the spaces were no in it, instead it was either all bunched together or semicolons were in place of spaces. So I just drastically cut down my handhake time by elinimating all the other different protocols but the ones I know it uses. (thanks to you, I never would have even looked at the spacing if you hadn't said something. Lucky me I do have a 50 foot phone cord I could run out there, I don't know how high quality it is (just regular stuff from a hardware store) but I'll be able to just bring out this older machine its in now to the garage and see if it works. I'll probably get to doing that tomorrow if its not raining. (like it has been for like the past week.) -Colin |
| MKIIIMan Tl Posts: 12 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 8:39:52 PM Since I can't see how you edit posts (if you can) tonight I'm running a test to see if it will download a 142MB video file all at once (yea, thats 14 hours straight) Right now its hour 5 in to teh download and its rock solid at 2.9kbps @ a 26.4 connection speed. Thats better then it was been in the past I just hope it can keep going! If it does keep all the way through I'll try moving it back up to my main XP box and see if I can do it again. I'm still crossing my fingers though. -Colin |
| charles Tl Posts: 5879 USA | Posted - 7/19/2004 9:07:19 PM To edit post just click on the third icon from the right. Could you post a modem log would like to see the modem string in the log.Looking in the modems inf it is showing the default string to be.

| MKIIIMan Tl Posts: 12 USA | Posted - 8/11/2004 11:46:03 AM okay, havn't updated here in a while. Turns out I just have realy super junky garbage phone lines at my house. I had someone's laptop machine at my buddy down the road's house, figured I could try dialing into my ISP from there. It came out with a 43.xk connection. So that proves my ISP does support v.92. Man, I swear I live in a technical stone age in my house. -Colin |
