Is the modem supposed to automatically detect a busy phone line?

My modem is set to automatically dial-out when it needs to. Sometimes it is able to detect when the phone line is in use, sometimes it isn't. Is this normal?

I does what a modem usually does when you pick up the phone. I makes a bunch of annoying noises when you are having a conversation. I'll try to get a pattern but it's only happened a couple of time so far. Maybe it's the update.
It seems to happen when the screen is either locked-out (but not asleep) or another time when I was unlocking the screen after waking up my system, the system must have immediately dialed-out when I woke it up.

  • How do I go about setting up my new wireless all-in-one Epson XP-215 printer to my MacBook Pro? The system is not automatically detecting the printer ad the furthest I get is "System" keychain user and pswd but I am a new user to Mac.

    I am a new user to Mac and trying to set up an Epson XP-215 All-in-One printer without any success. The Mac Book Pro is not recogising the Printer automatically and when following the instructions to add the printer, it gets as far as a display box for teh user and password for "System" Keychain but I am not sure what info to add there...
    The printer is meant to have a function calle dAir Print also that is meant to be used for Mac but I cannot figure out any of this! Why would the MacBook Pro not automatically pic up the printer? Please help...

    If you have not already done so, you should read the user manual that came w/the printer and/or contact Epson tech support.

  • IE8 Automatic detect setting uncheck

    Hi All,
    I need your help to uncheck  the IE automatic detect settings via GPO, already i have configred my GPO, which i havent enabled the automatic detect settings. But still my users are not able to browse the intranet pages due to this setting enabled automatically
    in the IE8. Kindly help me how to fix this issue, as i have gone through so many forums, but i couldnt get a solid answer for this.

    Hi,
    Sorry, I misunderstand your posting before.
    Okey, now please check the GPO version through Group Policy Management console\GPO preperties\Details tab\, make sure user version (AD) and (Sysvol) has the same version.
    Generate a Group Policy result for a user through Group Policy Management Console, check applied user GPO, check whether the GPO version.
    Go back to GPO, edit the GPO settings, check “Automatically detect configuration settings”, save it, GPO version will update.
    Once again, go back to GPO, edit GPO settings, uncheck “Automatically detect configuration settings”, save it, GPO version will update.
    On your client computer, run Gpupdate /force to apply modified GPO and check the result.
    If still don’t work, you may use group policy to modify registry to uncheck that option.
    HEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Internet Settings\Connection
    Get a module value from a computer which “Automatically detect configuration settings” is unchecked.

    Either your phone is broken, or it was jailbroken. You can try a DFU restore.

    seems it's fine, however, sakis still fails to detect it automatically, but it does its job fine when i specify that the tty the modem is linked to is [ttyUSB0]
    so, what precisely is the difference between  a [minimal] live arch environment and a fresh [minimal] install? what could possibly explain this difference?

  • Automatically detect the caller class!

    Guys,
    I have a simple but "sounds-like-general-and-interesting" doubt..
    I have a class 'A' and another class 'B'. I have a method in 'A' called 'a' calling a method in class 'B' (which is 'b').
    suppose the control is inside the method 'b' of the class 'B'.
    Now, the doubt is
    how can I find out that it was class 'A' who called the method 'b' of class 'B' from within the method 'b'?
    the scenario is a simpe loging scenario where the class 'B' is a Logger class and I want to automatically detect the class calling this component from within this component so that it can be logged too.
    Hope my problem is clear. Thankx in advance for the replies.. am stuck and confused too.. and hop there's a solution for this
    regards
    Manesh

    mgumbs is right - typically a Logger class will accept a context (Object) to indicate where the message has come from. Sometimes people pass in "this", sometimes they pass in "this.class" or sometimes they'll log on behalf of another class. It's pretty much the same solution - if it's needed you should supply it.
    One method made possible in J2SDK-1.4 is using a stack trace to find out what the calling class/method is. Perhaps the only way to do that would be to throw a new Exception and get hold of its stack trace elements. I suspect that this would add significant overhead, though, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it!

    I'm thinking of getting apple tv...I have an HD tv. will the apple tv automatically detect my wifi or does it require more to use apple tv?

    Hi ronda
    I am not sure what you mean by "automatically". It will find your network but you will need to enter your password, assuming you have your WiFI protected.

  • Joining paths chronologically (endpoint of objects with startpoint of the above insteadof automatic detection)

    Just like the topic says, is there a way (scripting?) to join paths (i think of about 100-500 of more or less detailed vector scribbles) by connecting every endpoint to the startpoint of the following object above?

    Would be great. Sure, i'll try.
    1) You see the original scribble, 4 brush strokes, every stroke beginning in the bottom and directed to top-right.
    2) The result of selecting strokes > right-click > join produces automatically detected path, connecting the nearest (?) anchors.
    3) What it should be: end-point of the first stroke should join with start-point of second and so on.
    Would this be possible? This would save enormous amounts of time while animating paths in after effects.

  • ISP has floating IP and changes several times a day - how do I set Foxfire to automatically detect and update the IP when I attempt to open the browser?

    If I log off my ISP automatically changes the IP address, when I used Windows Explorer I was able to tell it to automatically detect the new IP so I did not have a problem. With Foxfire I have to manually go out get the new IP and then open the browser - this is a PIA.

    When entering the URL either as your home page or new tab page, I suggest using the full URL https://www.google.com/ since otherwise there is a slight delay as Google redirects Firefox to the secure page.

  • How can I tell my MacBook Air to automatically detect my Thunderbolt Display?

    I have a brand new MacBook Air (13", mid-2011) running 10.7.2 (and all updates) and Thunderbolt Display (with firmware 22.2, the latest)
    When I plug the thunderbolt plug into the port, I expect the MBA to recognize the display and automatically start using the display based on the last settings (arrangement, etc.) This is how every other display (Apple or not) has worked with a MacBook I've owned. This is one of the nice little touches that I really appreciate about Apple products.
    What actually happens when I plug in the thunderbolt display is.... nothing. The MBA will work happily as if there is no external display plugged in until I bring up the Displays control panel and "Detect Displays". This is contrary to how it worked in the past and based on that experience, I consider the current behavior to be a bug.
    Is there some setting I'm missing to make this work properly? It is pretting annoying to have to many times a day (in the morning and every time I take my MBA away from my desk). Is this a known issue that Apple will be fixing soon?
    Thanks,

    It's definitely not supposed to work like that...when you plug the display in, it should just turn on and adjust your displays.  It works like that on my MBP.  Kind of a silly question, but do you have the MagSafe from the display plugged in your MBAir too?  Thats a requirement.  Beyond that, it should "just work."
    Not sure if there is some setting to enable...i haven't seen it.  Call to support?

  • Windows server 2012 standard second DNS server not automaticly detected by Windows 7.

    Hi!
    We have configured a second DNS server on our domain just in case.
    I have tested the second DNS by activating manually the second dns server in the IPV4 config in windows 7 pro.
    My question is: the second DNS server is not supposed to be detected automaticly by windows?
    Thanks you.

    Hi,
    There may be some misunderstanding about how DNS works.
    DNS client doesn't detect DNS servers. DNS client doesn't know which zone is hosted by the DNS server. DNS client can only send DNS query to the DNS servers which are configured in the client.
    As I mentioned above, the DNS Client service queries the DNS servers in the following order:
    The DNS Client service sends the name query to the first DNS server on the preferred adapter’s list of DNS servers and waits one second for a response.
    If the DNS Client service does not receive a response from the first DNS server within one second, it sends the name query to the first DNS servers on all adapters that are still under consideration and waits two seconds for a response.
    If the DNS Client service does not receive a response from any DNS server within two seconds, the DNS Client service sends the query to all DNS servers on all adapters that are still under consideration and waits another two seconds for a response.
    If the DNS Client service still does not receive a response from any DNS server, it sends the name query to all DNS servers on all adapters that are still under consideration and waits four seconds for a response.
    If it the DNS Client service does not receive a response from any DNS server, the DNS client sends the query to all DNS servers on all adapters that are still under consideration and waits eight seconds for a response.
    In your case, if you configure the DNS2 as the secondary DNS server on Windows 7, when the DNS1 is down, Windows 7 will send DNS query to DNS2 after 3 sceconds(Step 3).
    Best Regards.
