[comp.dcom.modems] Need help with Plessey modem

willisa@cs.glasgow.ac.uk (Mark Willis) (11/13/89)

I have recently come into posession of a Plessey Dataplug 2 modem,
however I am unable to make it work

The modem flashes the ready light on the front panel, and refuses to do
anything. The display does not show anything, and there is no response to
typing on the keypad. It is possible to make the ready light go out by
setting something impossible on the dip switches (like 2 baud rates), so I
assume that if I can make the ready light stay on, then all will be well.

Does anyone have any experience with this or a similar modem, which could
help me?

Is any strange configuration required of the RS-232-C port? I have tried all
the usual setups with no success.
If it is of any help, the following pins are connected internally:
	2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, 17, 20, 22 & 24.
