need help regarding the modem driver and the installation. 7460

dear all, what happened to U guys, i was waiting for your help but upto now no one help me on this topic and on this group. ok here are the answer i got from linmodem forum, i am posting this because if someone encounter this kind of problem and need help then may be this will: -- There is a display bug in your scanModem Nov1 release, now fixed. For PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- e159:0001 8086:0003 Communication

You should have been directed to: get the intel-537EPsecure-2.60.80.121092006.tgz, 24-Oct-2006 21:21 1.5M MarvS scanModem maintainer ... intel read me. Intel claiming partial source and providing binaries built on a 32-bit Pentium aware computer, you may use the drivers ONLY on a 32-bit Linux and a Pentium instruction set compatible processor.

The driver code also handles a SMP configuration, as found in modern multi-core processors, such as the Opteron and Xeon processors.

1536EP and 537EP installation:

First read the readme.txt file located in the detar'ed created directory. Make sure your computer has all the prerequisites (kernel-devel rpm installed in particuliar) and yourusr-src-kernels-'uname -r'-include-linux-autoconf.h does match your processor configuration. With this, check especially for: $ grep SMPusr-src-kernels-'uname -r'-include-linux-autoconf.h for CONFIGSMP defined whereas your computer only contains a single processor. If you have such a mismatch, reinstall your Linux distribution from scratch.

2From any account, you can under the detar'ed created directory: $ make clean $ make 536 or $ make 537

For a 537 family modem, you may have to prior to the $ make 537

3Only from a root account, you can $ make install or $ make uninstall

Check with: $ dmesg for any driver's run-time problem.

The 536EP driver has proved to work fine with efax, hylafax, wvdial, KPPP. The 537 driver has proved to work fine on SuSE 10.1.

4Checking the installation. buttuming you have a 536EP modem, you should see the following: $ ls -ldev-modem $ ls -ldev-536* crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 240, 1 jan 22 13:08dev-536ep crw-rw---- 1 root root 240, 1 jan 22 13:08dev-536ep0

With suchdev-536ep protection modes, your modem is ready for use by software from any account. Such software includes efax.

Your modem being connected to a phone line, it is advised to perform the following quick and simple check: $ efax -v ewinchmart wait for efax waiting for a phone call. Then abort it with CTRL-C. Check that driver is properly working with: $ dmesg

5Testing the modem for an Internet connection with wvdial: from a root account, geditetc-wvdial.conf containing information such as: Modem0 Modem =dev-modem Baud = 115200 SetVolume = 3 Dial Command = ATDT Init1 = ATZ Init2 = AT+GCI=3D Init3 = ATM1L3 Carrier Check = no FlowControl = CRTSCTS #Stupid Mode = yes Dialer tiscali Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLbutt=0 Inherits = Modem0

tiscali is my Internet provider. You may replace the string Dialer tiscali by

Do not attempt to set the Baud rate to a value greater than 115,200 bps. Stressing TCP-IP performance tests have shown that you will not get more overall performance, and you may cause the modem driver to lock your computer, forcing you to power down it.

Still from a root account, test the Internet connection with the command: Check if the modem correctly dials. Check if the ppp daemon is correctly synchronizing and authenticates you with no problem. Providing the ppp daemon does not work correctly, then $ kill 1% to abort wvdial. If ppp daemon is not working properly, you might remove in the proposedetc-wvdial.conf file the comment on the line: #Stupid Mode = yes and restart

Check using an Internet browser, such as Firefox, that you can display pages from the Web. kill the wvdial program with the command: $ kill %1

6Configuring with KPPP.

KPPP on Fedora Core 4 Gnome desktop can be configured clicking on

Enter the data relative to your Internet account. For configuring the modem, in the peripheral tab: Enter your string as the modem name. As the peripheral device, select in the listboxdev-modem. For flow control, select hardware CRTSCTS End of line CR-LF Connection speed 115200. Do not use a lock file and select the modem response delay to 120 secondes (maximum). Unselect "wait tone before dialing" and set "active wait" to 50 secondes.

In the modem tab, clicking on modem commands, I set my 536EP modem to the following: Pre-initialization delay: 100 Init String 1: ATZ Post-initialization delay : 156 Dialing speed : 100 Response after initialization: OK No tone detection : ATX3 Dialing string : ATDT "Connected" Response: CONNECT Busy Response: BUSY No Carrier Response: NO CARRIER No tone response: NO DIALTONE Hangup command: +++ATH Hangup response: OK Modem query command: ATA Ring response: RING Response "Response": CONNECT DLP response: DIGITAL LINE DETECTED Escape string: +++ Escape response: OK Guard time: 255 Mute-low-high volume: M0L0 M1L1 M1L3

If you freshly installed the modem and with KPPP you interrogate it, it might happen the modem does not answer ATI commands the first time. Retrying once again, makes the modem answer. -- regards. raheel kaghzi. electrogeni
