Release Note on Elite 2864 Version 1.09 Dec 12, 1995
checksum: 46700
1. Improved V.34 performance.
1) Improved the "carrier lost 1" problem:
When connected with a modem employing Rockwell's chipset, after
about 10 minutes of connection, the modem will drop the line with
disconnect reason shown "carrier lost 1".
2. Fixed modem bugs:
1) Wrong response to ATDT;H command:
the modem doesn't hang-up after dialing the phone number.
2) Wrong response to AT&FX7S6=5&W1Z1 command:
viewing the setting by AT&V, the modem responds with the default
setting of X5 and S6=2, in stead of X7 and S6=5.
3) Wrong AT command entered in escaped state will cause hang:
if any wrong AT command is issued in escaped state, the modem
will not respond to any futher AT commands. Modem should be
powered off and on to reset.
4) Modem hangs:
when the modem is ringing and the RS-232 cable is pluged in,
then the modem will not respond to any futher AT commands. Modem should
be powered off and on to reset.
5) Unable to send data calling tone for V.32b/V.22b/ZyX19200/ZyX16800
modes.
6) Connection problem when calling tone enabled:
When the calling tone is enabled (AT&F&N0S48.2=1), the connection made
with U-1496 plus models can only reach 16800 bps
(the 19200 bps connection is not possible).
7) Wrong LED display:
When the modem is connected with ZyX 19200 or 16800 bps, the LED V34
and V32b are ON. That is OK. But when you enter "+++" escape command
and then "AT" command, the V32b LED goes OFF.
8) The S14 register does not contain the exact value of the command AT*M0
and AT*M1. For example, with command ATZ1*M1&V, the display shows the
value of S14 bit 0 is 0; with command ATZ1S14.0=1&V, the display shows
*M0.
9) The supervisory password entry can take only 7 characters:
Try setting for example password #8 but type more than 8 characters
and you will get "ERROR".
10) Problem of connecting to host with 7 data bits, even parity and 1 stop
bit protocol:
There is a problem when you try to connect to the "telebanking"
service, where 7E1 protocol is used. What is supposed to happen is that
you enter the user ID followered by , and then the host prompts you
for the password. The bug is as soon as a numeric digit is entered, it
behaves like a has been entered as well, and the host prompts for
the user-ID again. After 3 incorrect attempts, you are automatically
logged out.
11) On the password table, for example setting *G4, the modem is not able
to detect any password at location #10 to #49.
12) Cannot report "BUSY" while waiting for the first and second dial tone:
If bit6 of S57 is set, the modem will report "BUSY".
If bit6 of S57 is reset (default), the modem will report
"NO DIALTONE".
13) Problem with V.23 mode connection:
The modem will hang-up within 5-6 seconds of V.23 mode connection.
14) Wrong change of S-register:
When "AF+FCLASS=0" command is entered, the S register S19 will be
cleared.
15) Cannot transfer file using XON/XOFF control:
Modem hangs up the call when using XON/XOFF flow control for file
transfer. And the disconnect reason shows "Local Hang Up".
16) Fail to recognize the Italian dial tone.
17) Failure in dial tone monitoring:
When "ATH1" command is entered, the modem goes offhook but there
is no dial tone coming from the modem's internal speaker.
18) Incorrect response for numeric form result code (ATV0):
For example, when "AT+FCLASS?" command is entered, modem responds with
"00" instead of "00" in numeric form.
19) Problem on forcing V.22bis retrain:
In V.22bis escape state, when "ATO1" command is entered to force the
modem to request a retrain, the connect message shows "V.32 9600T".
And sometimes the retrain fails.
3. Fixed fax bugs:
1) In direct fax printing mode (AT+FCLASS=Z and AT+FZF=0), when a data
call comes, the modem serial port will hang. (Can't switch from
parallel port to serial port.)
2) V34 and V32b LED doesn't goes off in FAX mode.
3) CD on immediately after dialing in FAX Class 1 mode.
4) In fax DRAM retrieing mode, the RS-232 RI signal is not sent to DTE
when "RING" string is sent to DTE.
5) Fail to detect busy tone:
After dialing out the number, the modem does not report "BUSY" when the
central office sends busy tone to modem.
6) Fail to go on-hook:
If the modem answers a call with "AT+FCLASS=1;FAA=1;A" command and
there is no response from remote modem, the modem will report
"CONNECT", "ERROR" and then "OK". But actually the modem does not go
on-hook.
7) Wrong LED indicators:
If DRAM is installed in modem and "AT+FZF=3" command is entered,
the EC and SP LEDs keep on after pulling out the RS-232 cable.
8) Problem on fax reception:
Sometimes the top portion (the first half inch) of the received page
is chopped off when the receiving speed is 14400bps.
9) The AT+FZF=1 setting is not saved with AT&W command.
4. New fax printing feature:
1) Support Postscript Printer.
2) Support HP DJ500 series Inkjet Printer.
3) Speedup PCL Printing.
4) The local ID string (AT+FLI=) can be saved to EEPROM with AT&W command.
5) Issuing AT+FZL? will give you a report on faxes stored in the DRAM
and the memory that is left.

5. Fixed voice bugs:
1). Playing problem with 3-Bit ADPCM data.
2). Increase the reliablity of VCON detection.
3). Enhance the voice quality of local telephone phone set.
4) Fail to switch off the power to telephone jack:
If "AT+FCLASS=8" and "AT+VLS=1" is given, the loacl telephone is still
powered after "AT+FCLASS=0" command is entered.
5) Wrong response to "AT+VSM" command:
When "AT+VSM" command is entered with incorrect values, the modem does
not respond with an "ERROR" message.
6) Both V34 and V32b LEDs are not turned off in voice mode.
6. Add new voice features:
1). When first playing through telephone line, the default setting is
disable the Near Echo Cancellation. The users can enable this feature
by setting the bit 7 of s60 to 1.
2) Some programmers need the feature to enable the speaker when recording
from telephone line. In this version, we let users use VLS=18 (16+2,
speaker and Telco Line) to enable the speaker.
3) Some programmers also report that the transmit level of Tone (+VTS)
and Voice (+VTX) are different. In this version, we let users set
the transmit gain separately, AT+VGT for Voice and AT+VGN for Tone.
The default value of AT+VGT is 128. The default value of AT+VGN is
60.
4) In this version, users can use s60 bit 4 to disable the Telco line
playback AGC.
5. Important notes for voice programmers :
From version 1.07, the Near Echo Cancellation is disabled as the default
setting, this decreases the sensitivity and reliablity of DTMF detection
when playing voice message. Set the s60 bit 7 will enable the NEC.
