Mine never rings at all, soon as you dial, you hear carrier. Your switch type probably isn't set right yet. Or some other trunk setting is not configured correctly. You did load factory defaults on the DSP? If you didn't, then I'd say you need to. If this happens after you've loaded defaults and set your switch type, then your switch type is probably wrong. You have to understand that there's a LOT more to this than just ringing, answering, and connecting. You can have a lot of things wrong and it will still do that. But if something's wrong you can have the long answering delay, slow modem communication, a lot of disconnects, etc. You have to load defaults and verify the correct switch setting, or you're just asking for problems. - Joel -----Original Message----- From: Kirti S.

Subject: [USR-TC] Tune-up Hello List: Finally I have 3COM responding to Dial-in & is working. Thank you all for all the help & suggestions. Without your help, I will still be scratching my head. Next question. I notice that when I dial-in, 3COM is letting the phone/connection ring for about 30 seconds before the authentication sequence is started. I have set the modems (HiPer DSP) to answer on the first ring. Why does it take so long? Are there any tune-up settings for 3COM?
