RE: ECS doesen't work -- MIDRANGE-L

To narrow the problem down, without a spare SYNC modem;

Plug in a working ASYNC modem and use STRITF. From there do ATDT(your
number).

This'll eliminate all those 272X card/cable problems.

For the line description, you'll need an ASYNc configuration, here's one I
use:
CRTLINASC LIND(ASYNCMDM) RSRCNAME(CMN01) ONLINE(*NO) +
         INTERFACE(*RS232V24) CNN(*NONSWTPP) SNBU(*NO) BITSCHAR(8) +
         PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) DUPLEX(*FULL) ECHO(*NONE) +
         LINESPEED(9600) MODEM(*NORMAL) MODEMRATE(*FULL) +
         MAXBUFFER(896) THRESHOLD(*OFF) FLOWCNTL(*NO) IDLTMR(1) +
         DSRDRPTMR(10) AUTOANSTYP(*DTR) CTSTMR(25) RMTANSTMR(60) +
         CMNRCYLMT(99 99) TEXT('CMN01 9600 *NONE 8 1')
CRTCTLASC CTLD(ASYNCMDM) LINKTYPE(*ASYNC) ONLINE(*YES) +
         SWITCHED(*NO) SNBU(*NO) LINE(ASYNCMDM) ACKTMR(35) +
         RETRY(7) RMTVFY(*NO) CMNRCYLMT(9 1) +
         TEXT('CMN01 9600 *NONE 8 1')
CRTDEVASC DEVD(ASYNCMDM) RMTLOCNAME(ASYNCMDM) ONLINE(*YES) +
         CTL(ASYNCMDM) TEXT('CMN01 9600 *NONE 8 1')
****************** End of data **************************************

If this works, I'd try the multitech in ASYNC mode.

If that works, then it's either your ECS line description or the SYNC part
of the modem. So try putting up a different line configuration. If you need
one these, let me know.

~ It seams as though I am experiencing an ECS problem.  The ECS line on
~ this 9401 150 has never been used.  When I try to SNDPTFORD THE
~ modem never dials out.  I don't see anything relating to this in
~ the joblog,
~ dsplog, QCMN joglog, QLUS joblog or in the  QSYSARB* joblogs.   The
~ modem (MultiTech MT2834BA) never gets a TR light on.  When I try
~ SNDSRVRQS *TEST it stays Input Inhibit  with "Connecting to remote
~ system - please wait"  for ever.  No lights on the modem change.
~ If I call
~ qtiinstl it doesn't give me an error message and nothing seems to
~ happen.
~ The only thing in the job log is the call.  If I do a WRKHDWPRD with a 4
~ for display it shows the QESLINE is in card position  1B port 1.  QESLINE
~ has a resource name of CMN03.  If I do a WRKHDWRSC *CMN it shows
~ CMN03 as V.24 port Frame ID 1 card position 1B.  The cable is plugged
~ into the back of the 400 facing the back the second row from the bottom
~ on the left with cable number 44h7480.  I have tried the switches on this
~ modem two ways.
~ 1up2up3dn4through 10up 11dn12through16up
~ or
~ 1up2up3dn4dn5through7up8&9dn10up11dn12through15up16dn
~ neither way gives me a TR light.  MultiTech says I have to have a
~ TR light
~ for auto answer to be on.  I realize I don't need auto answer for ECS.
~ The fact is I can't get the modem to recognize the AS/400.  For people
~ that aren't familiar with the MultiTech it should work identical
~ to the IBM
~ modem.  MultiTech makes the IBM modems. The only difference is the
~ MultiTech modems are cheaper and faster.  I'm on V4R4 with the latest
~ cum and the latest hypers.
~ I would certainly appreciate any hints for me to solve this.
