  • Subject: ECS doesen't work
  • From: "Gary Kuznitz" <docfxit@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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.

TIA,
Gary Kuznitz
