US Robotics 5686 User manual

Connect the modem to the computer.
Connect the 25-pin connector end of the modem cable (not
included) to the back of the modem and the other end to your
computer’s serial port.
To find the serial port on the back of your computer, look for
COM, MODEM, RS-232, , or SERIAL. Do not use the AUX,
GAME, LPT, or PARALLEL ports.
Connect the modem to an analog phone line
and plug in the modem’s power supply.
Plug one end of the included phone cord into the TELCO jack on
the back of the modem (labelled on the modem’s underside)
and plug the other end into an analog telephone wall jack. When
you are not using the modem, you can use a telephone by plugging
the telephone’s cord into the modem’s adapter jack. Plug the
power adapter into the modem’s jack and into a surge protector
or electrical outlet. Make sure to use the power adapter that came
with your modem, as others may be of different voltages and could
damage your modem. Turn on the modem by using the switch next
to the status lights. The CS light should illuminate.
If the CS light does not illuminate or other lights illuminate, make
sure that only DIP switches 3, 5, and 8 are in the on (down) posi-
tion. (The DIP switches are located next to the phone jacks on the
back of the modem.)

Troubleshooting
1. Is your modem turned on? When your modem is properly connected
to an electrical outlet, a wall outlet, or a surge protector and is turned
on, the CS light on the front panel will be illuminated.
2. Is your power supply connected properly to both your modem and
an electrical outlet? If it is, check the outlet with another electric
device (like a lamp) to be sure that you are getting power. Also, use
the power supply that came with your modem; other similar-looking
power supplies may be of different voltages and could damage your
modem.
3. Are you using the proper cable to connect your modem to your
computer? Make sure you are using an RS-232 modem cable. Check
the packaging of the cable you bought. There are many computer
cables that look similar to an RS-232 that will not work correctly with
this modem. For example, a Null Modem cable will not work with your
56K Faxmodem. Depending on whether you have a 9-pin or 25-pin
serial port on your computer, you will need either a DB9/DB25 or a
DB25/DB25 serial cable. See the diagrams below:
4. Make sure the DIP switches on the back of your modem are set correctly.
DIP switches 3, 5, and 8 should be in the on (down) position. See the
diagram below for the proper settings.
5. Is your phone cord properly connected? The phone cord should be
plugged into the jack on the modem and into the telephone wall jack. Use
the phone cord included in your modem’s box, if possible.
If you have any difficulty with your modem, first make sure that it was
installed correctly.

You may be using a COM port that is either already in use or not configured
correctly. For the modem to work properly, it must be plugged into an
enabled serial port which is assigned to a free COM port. Most computers
have two serial ports assigned to COM 1 and COM 2 respectively.

Our research has shown that the vast majority of telephone lines in North
America can and do support V.90/V.92 connections. TheV.90/V.92 protocol
allows for connection speeds of up to 56K, but line conditions may affect the
actual speeds during a given connection. Due to unusual telephone line
configurations, some users will not be able to take full advantage of V.90/
V.92 technology at this time. In order to achieve a V.90/V.92 connection:
1.1.
1.1.
1. The server you are dialing into must support and provide a digital V.90/
V.92 signal. Your ISP can provide you with a list of dial-up connections and
information on what those connections currently support.
2.2.
2.2.
2. The telephone line between your ISP and your modem must be capable
of supporting a 56K connection and contain only one analog-to-digital
conversion. The 56K signal from your ISP begins as a digital signal. Some-
where between the ISP and your modem, there will be a digital-to-analog
signal conversion so that your modem can receive the data. There must be
no more than one analog-to-digital signal conversion in the path from your
ISP to your modem. If more than one analog-to-digital conversion occurs,
your connection speeds will default to V.34+ (33.6 Kbps). There may also be
impairments on the local lines between your ISP and your modem. These
impairments can prevent or limit connection speeds. All telephone calls are
routed differently, so you should try making your 56K connection several
times. One way to test this is to dial into a long distance location. Long
distance lines are often much clearer than local lines. It is important to note
that telephone companies are constantly upgrading their systems. Lines that
do not support 56K today may support 56K in the near future.
3.3.
3.3.
3. For a V.90 connection, your modem must be connecting to a V.90/56K
server. A pair of 56K modems will not connect to each other at V.90/56K
speeds.
4.4.
4.4.
4. For a V.92 connection, your modem must be connecting to a V.92 server. A
pair of 56K modems will not connect to each other at V.92/56K speeds.
