ro Tl Posts: 4 New Zealand	Posted - 11/6/2004 12:23:41 PM To prevent my browser "freezing up" on some specific websites requires turning off the V90 ( at-v90=0 ) functions on my modem. As this also slows down large file downloads I would like to be able to change these parameters either by accessing a file from my browser or activating a shortcut on the desktop. Can anyone detail if and how this can be done? Thanks

ro Tl Posts: 4 New Zealand	Posted - 11/7/2004 6:37:18 PM Hello Richard Thanks for your interest. Below are ATI11 results before and after turning off v90 and Flex. Normal Operation Description Status --------------- ------------ Last Connection V.90 Initial Transmit Carrier Rate 26400 Initial Receive Carrier Rate 45333 Final Transmit Carrier Rate 28800 Final Receive Carrier Rate 45333 Protocol Negotiation Result LAPM Data Compression Result V42bis Estimated Noise Level 358 Receive Signal Power Level (-dBm) 6 Transmit Signal Power Level (-dBm) 14 Round Trip Delay (msec) 6 Near Echo Level (-dBm) NA Far Echo Level (-dBm) NA Transmit Frame Count 2296 Transmit Frame Error Count 0 Receive Frame Count 4973 Receive Frame Error Count 90 Retrain by Local Modem 0 Retrain by Remote Modem 1 Call Termination Cause 0 Robbed-Bit Signaling 00 Digital Loss (dB) 0 Remote Server ID NA OK With Flex & V90 turned off Description Status --------------- ------------ Last Connection V.34 Initial Transmit Carrier Rate 28800 Initial Receive Carrier Rate 33600 Final Transmit Carrier Rate 28800 Final Receive Carrier Rate 26400 Protocol Negotiation Result LAPM Data Compression Result V42bis Estimated Noise Level 26 Receive Signal Power Level (-dBm) 24 Transmit Signal Power Level (-dBm) 9 Round Trip Delay (msec) 8 Near Echo Level (-dBm) 19 Far Echo Level (-dBm) 64 Transmit Frame Count 435 Transmit Frame Error Count 1 Receive Frame Count 475 Receive Frame Error Count 13 Retrain by Local Modem 1 Retrain by Remote Modem 1 Call Termination Cause 0 Robbed-Bit Signaling NA Digital Loss (dB) NA Remote Server ID NA OK Initially I could not load a small number of high content sites to my browser but this was corrected by putting “s38=0 –v90=0” in the the “extra settings” box of the dialup connectoid. However large downloads showed significantly lower connection speeds and I felt it would be convenient to be able easily change this parameter without going through the many keystrokes required. I tried a separated connectiod for downloading but changing the “extra settings” box seems change in both connectiods. I have also tried a DOS “bat” command but it only appears to operate while the DOS box is active. I assume there must be an easier way? Thanks ro
v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA	Posted - 11/8/2004 8:33:04 AM Both V.90 and V.34 connects show retrains - in fact the V.34 shows 2 vs 1 for the V.90! Can you go back to the V.90 connect and wwait for freezing up situation, then after disconnect capture the ati11 and post that? It is correct that extra settings (init string) will apply to any connection you make. What driver version are you using? (Response to ati3) and what operating system are you running? Aloha! Richard.
ro Tl Posts: 4 New Zealand	Posted - 11/9/2004 9:13:38 PM Hello Richard Diver version ATI3 is – LT V.92 Data+Fax Modem Version 8.22 Operating system is – Windows 98 SE Freeze-up – problems. This problem started happening 2 – 3 months ago and apeared to be fixed when modifying the modem parameters. On one specific site it froze consistantly after approx. 80% loading on two different makes of web browser. In now trying to duplicate it unfortunetly ( or perhaps fortunately ) all seems to work OK. Perhaps there was a software problem ( now fixed ) that was more noticable at higher spedds ? If I can duplicate conditions I will forward the ATI11 results. Does a “retrain” imply line or communication problems? I assume my original request for an easy way to change parameters is more involved than I thought. Thanks again ro
ro Tl Posts: 4 New Zealand	Posted - 11/23/2004 4:40:19 PM Have had a small number of inconsistant "freeze up" since my earlier posting below is a copy of ati11 immediately after one event. ati11 Description Status --------------- ------------ Last Connection V.90 Initial Transmit Carrier Rate 26400 Initial Receive Carrier Rate 45333 Final Transmit Carrier Rate 28800 Final Receive Carrier Rate 45333 Protocol Negotiation Result LAPM Data Compression Result V42bis Estimated Noise Level 324 Receive Signal Power Level (-dBm) 6 Transmit Signal Power Level (-dBm) 14 Round Trip Delay (msec) 6 Near Echo Level (-dBm) NA Far Echo Level (-dBm) NA Transmit Frame Count 447 Transmit Frame Error Count 5 Receive Frame Count 682 Receive Frame Error Count 0 Retrain by Local Modem 0 Retrain by Remote Modem 1 Call Termination Cause 0 Robbed-Bit Signaling 00 Digital Loss (dB) 0 Remote Server ID NA Thanks ro
v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA	Posted - 11/24/2004 10:06:52 PM Ideally, you'd want to see 0 for all the error fields (xmt & recv) and 0 for the retrain fields - all you ati11's have errors & retrains. How does regular voice call sound? Do you hear any clicks/hum/pops or background noise? If you do, clearing these up (telco/your wiring) may help your modem connectivity; If the line sounds clean all the time, if possible, I would try calling into another ISP or different access # to see if you get same behavior; What driver version is in the modem? (ATI3 response using Hyperterminal - www.modemsite.com/56k/x2-hyperterm.asp ) You could try other driver versions; Also make sure country code is set correctly. www.modemsite.com/56k/ltwin7.asp www.modemsite.com/56k/ltwin9.asp Aloha! Richard.
