RE: AVTS modem upload BS 4.3.11



Ian,

Thanks yes, it does not matter which slot...I have the same problems with
either slot; not being able to connect with "use software compression" and
being able to connect with that option unchecked.

There shouldn't be any slot requirement for the modem card.  It should work
in either one.

Tab,

So part of the problem I had with AVTS modems upload was that I had the PC
Modem card in the wrong slot...but I continued to have problems afterwards.

I cannot get the AVTS unit to communicate with the GEMS server (cannot
ping), even though RAS Server has it connected on a port and assigned the
AVTS unit an IP address.

I can only get the AVTS unit to communicate if I go into CE and modify the
GEMSHOST settings and uncheck "Use Software Compression" (not the default
settings).

I cannot imagine that every county that modems does this change to get their
modems to communicate.  Is there a setting in RAS that would match the
default AVTS settings, because I have gone through what I think is
everything and cannot find it.

Take care,

rob chen

Rob,

    What is the IP address of the GEMS machine? In particular are both the
GEMS machine and the AVTS machine on the same 'network'?
