Additional ZlinkW Troubleshooting Information
Figure 47: Local Connection Option Serial Cable
(The Shield on pin 1 is optional; if used, it should be connected only on one end of the
cable, to prevent ground loops; however, it usually does not cause problems if both ends
are connected).
If any of these lines are missing, ZlinkW probably will not work.
Modem Connect
Modem Connect - Internal
Some modems are set with software commands instead of the hardware switches or
jumpers shown below. For these modems, you need to obtain the correct setup codes from
the modem manual, corresponding to the settings noted below. Then the proper codes are
put into an initialization file in the Zetron directory called modem.ini. When ZlinkW starts
up, it looks for this file, and if found, sends its contents to the modem. See Modem Setup -
Software on page 190 for details. (Applies to version 300 software).
If you have purchased a modem in a market outside the U.S., be sure it uses Bell, not
CCITT, 1200 baud standards as default. If it defaults to CCITT and you cannot change it
with a switch or jumper, you will need to use an initialization file, or a Hayes command
along with the telephone number, to put it into Bell standard.
Zetron supports the Hayes Smartmodem 1200B and compatible modem cards. Zetron
does not support using modems that conform to the “WinModem” standard. These
modems use internal software to accomplish tasks that used be done by hardware units
called UARTs. This can create memory address problems that ZbaseW cannot deal with.
The simplest solution is to use a modem model that still has UARTs.
Modem Connect - External
The cable between the modem and computer should simply bring all the wires directly
through. Some cables might bring only a few lines through, causing problems. We require
only the wires shown in Figure 48.
