I have found a minor annoyance. When I dial under Telix or under Putty, there is no linefeed after the carriage return. The result is that the response from the modem overwrites the dial sequence entered. Since I do a lot of free-hand dialing in terminal; it can get ugly and confusing.

If you have a mind to sometime in the future, would you please consider looking into it and tidying it up (assuming I'm not doing something incorrectly)?

I've been a user fo the Wimodem232 for a few years now, but in the last couple of days the modem keeps resetting itself mid connection/usage. I'm seeing the following error each time in the terminal before it restarts itself.

I've tried firmware updating, resetting to factory, clearing phonebook entries but so far it's continuing to throw this error within less than a minute of connecting out.

I was wondering if anyone was able to help shed any light on the issue, experienced anything similar or has any thoughts on how to resolve it please?

I use Proterm 3.1 with my Apple IIc and WiModem232 V2 @ 9600. I use the suggested initialization string and driver:

Generic Fixed Speed (RTS/CTS) driver
Init string: ATX1&C0&K1&S1
Apple //c Serial Port

The cable is this:
1 Handshake Out 20 DTR
2 Data Out 2 TxD
3 Ground 7 Gnd
4 Data In 3 RxD
5 Handshake In 6 DSR

Proterm 3.1 can initialize the modem upon startup successfully.

When I use Proterm's Dial function, Proterm does not recognize that the modem connected. I work around that by going on-line (solid-apple T) and dialing out using ATDS=X, where X is the index of the saved url. Interestingly enough, Proterm 3.1 does dial out if I use the Smartmodem 300 driver.

ZModem downloads start giving errors after the first time the computer saves the file to disk; Proterm reports that it was expecting one type of packet but got another (don't recall the exact packet types now). I need to cancel the download manually and power cycle the modem.

When I don't do a file transfer and use +++ to get the modem's attention, and then ATH to disconnect, I do not receive anything else from the modem. I can see the modem disconnected (through the OLED display), but I get no response from AT commands (although I also do see the modem gets the commands once again through the OLED display).

Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Thanks

I modified a few things prior to the at&w.

at*busy=in a call write now call back later
ats0=9
at&w

that caused the LED to go out.

I've tried to set the LED via at*led5, at*led0, at*led1, nothing is bring it back.

I did reboot and complete power cycle nothing helped it.

I use that LED to see who is trying to login to my system.

I don't see anyone else with this issue.

When accessing a server in the local network using telnet, I get TERM set to "wimodem", which makes programs confused about the features supported. Is there a register somewhere this string is stored so I can have "vt100", "ansi" or other configuration string compatible with the software running on the computer (or the physical terminal) attached to the modem? I can use my .profile script to force TERM to be something else if I login with it set to "wimodem", but it'd be cool if that could be configured on the modem itself.

Cheers, and, again, thanks for the amazing product.]]>

I recently pulled my WiModem232 out of storage, it is the OLED display model that says v3.1 in the corner, to start using again after a recent move. I was able to connect it all up, connect to the Wi-FI, but when I try to run AT*UPDATE I get

"Process failed! - Wrong HTTP Code"

before it just resets back to connecting the router. I know it's been a bit since I've used it, but not sure what to do to get this to install?

Thanks all!

However, every time I boot/restart the WiModem it logs onto that network automatically.

Since Im working on a program for an old 8-bit computer, I would like to test things out,
so for that I need to remove the SSID infos (user and pwd and ip address) from the modem that I allready
added using the AT*SSID command..
So basically I want a real factory reset, remove everything.

I tried different things. Like holding the reset button down for 10-30 seconds.
(It seemed to reset but did not remove all info).
I tried shutting down the wifi network and reset the WiModem using AT&F command.
None of these worked.

I read somewhere that one could do hardware modification, but the Pro version has this case
one has to remove?

I have not yet read the entire manual to find other things to try out.
But I thought to ask here meanwhile.
(The WiModem seems to be a great product so far).
