- 3COM / US Robotics Sportster Modem Caller ID
- Posted by Paul D. Motzenbecker, Jr. on March 2nd, 2005
Hi newsgroupies,
Greetings and hallucinations from just north of Fantasy Land (Washington,
DC)!
I have a friend who has a USR Sportster modem. The dang blasted thing is
supposed to do caller ID, but nothing I can do will activate it. Caller ID
works on the other phones in the house. Is there something that I am missing
here?
Peace,
Paul

Paul,
The USR 56k sportster that I have is enabled like this. I was
recently selling one on ebay and just noticed that you asked
for something I had done in my demo session. So, A copy
and paste later...
OK

OK
RING
DATE = 0226
TIME = 1221
NMBR = 5712360000
NAME = WIRELESS CALLER

From a medium-old Sportster manual (ca. 1998):
#CID=n Controls Caller ID feature.
#CID=0 Caller ID disabled.
#CID=1 Caller ID enabled with formatted information.
#CID=2 Caller ID enabled with unformatted information.
Talk to the modem with a terminal program such as Hyperterm.
Enter:
AT&FS0=1
AT#CID=1
(i.e. reset to factory defaults, enable autoanswer, turn on
caller ID formatted information.)
Now call from a phone line that is known to provide CLID.
What do you see?

Why not?

order for the modem to display CID. The CID information is sent after
the first ring, so if the modem goes off hook after the first ring,
(S0=1), then the CID info may not be sent, and/or the modem would not
display it in an off hook state.
