    TAPI interface) and see that a modem session is established.

5. Known issues
---------------

5.1	The modem typically installs on COM5.



------------------
6. Troubleshooting
------------------

If your modem does not work as expected:

6.1	If ERROR, NO DIALTONE or a similar message is received:

	(a)   Check whether HAMR56xx is connected to the line.
	(b)   Use a telephone handset to make sure that the line is
	      active and that there is a dial tone.
	(c)   Check to see if the line is a PBX line or a direct analog
            phone line. You may need to dial 9, before the actual 
		desired telephone number (i.e. ATDT9,123-4567).
		If, after dialing 9, the modem still cannot detect the PBX
		dialtone, try typing ATX3 before dialing.

		NOTE that PBX lines typically can only support V.34
		rates (33,600 bps, 28,800 bps, ...) and NOT V.90
		rates (49,333 bps, 50,666 bps, ...).


6.2	If dialer application (i.e. Hyperterminal) does not detect modem:

	(a)   Check whether HyperTerminal is configured to the right port.
		You can find the HAMR56xx COM port number in 
 		Control Panel/Modems/Properties. 
		If not, press disconnect and change the port that the dialer 
		is accessing.


6.3	If you cannot hear the dialtone and DTMF dialing while the modem should
	be dialing out:

	(a) HAMR56xxx hardware designs typically support three methods for
	monitoring call progress (dialtone, DTMF dialing, etc...)
	- In software through the audio subsystem.
		* Simply connect speakers to the audio card speaker
		output.
		* Next, click the right mouse button on SLLights in the
		Windows System Tray while the modem is loaded in memory.
 		* Select the speakers on or off as desired.
	- In hardware directly through the sound card.
		* Connect the 4 pin header on the HAMR56xx card to the
		TAM header on the audio card/subsytem.
	- In hardware using the optional HAMR56xx buzzer that may be on the
          HAMR56xx card.
		* Nothing needs to be done to hear this. It is always on.
		You can control the buzzer volume from the 
		Control Panel/Modem/Properties/Speaker Volume.
