Caller ID

[Norvak]

I just got a new dimension 5150 from Dell and it comes with a conexant D850 56k DVFc  modem

Windows XP home edition version 2002 SP 2

I need to know how can I activate the caller Id function on this modem, on HyperTerminal It doesn’t give the phone number. All I get is a RING

I’ve tried the AT+VCIS=1 & AT+VCID=2 and it answers OK, but when I call the PC all I get is a RING and no Caller ID info

I do have caller id from my telephone provider, and I have tested other PC’s and modems it does work

ATI6 command gives me this :
SoftK56
CModem Version 12
Rksample Version 342
OK

Any help will be HIGHLY appreciated

Regards

You might be stuffed there, I'm afraid.  Could be a very cut down winmodem that doesn't understand caller ID.  You could try >Conexant's support website< but modem strings are not something that many users ask about, so the info you want might not be there.  You may get a response to an email?

Bear in mind that external (e.g. USB) modems tend to be better-featured and better documented.  They're also pretty cheap.  Onboard modems?  Well... you get what you pay for...

I've found the following :

On OEM0.INF

DriverOEMVersion="7.06.00.50"

Does this "DriverOEM" version correspond to the version reported by device manager?  If so, your detective work does provide a hint to the modem's capabilities.  I confess I still don't know how to access them.

Have you contacted Dell since it is a new purchase?
