LocalTalk compatibility with GeoPort Telecom Adapter
If you are using a GeoPort Telecom Adapter on a Power Macintosh 7200 series, 7500/100, 7600/120, 8500 series, and 9500 series, you must disable LocalTalk. To do this, disconnect any LocalTalk devices attached to the printer port (serial devices can remain attached).
Sleep (Power Macintosh and Performa models)
Some Macintosh desktop models, including Power Macintosh 7200 series, 7500/100, 7600/120, 8500 series, 9500 series, Power Macintosh and Performa 5400 series, 6400 series and Performa 6360, support the Sleep feature to conserve energy. If you select “Sleep” from the Special Menu available on these models while there is an active GeoPort connection, the GeoPort Telecom Adapter will automatically disconnect the call without warning.
Connection (CCL) scripts for Apple Remote Access
Use the following connection script with Apple Remote Access:
GeoPort/Express Modem
This file is installed both in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder and in the Modem Scripts folder inside the Extensions folder. It is installed in two places to support all versions of Apple Remote Access.
An additional, optional connection script, named “GeoPort/Express Modem CNG,” is installed in the same two places. When you use this optional script, the GeoPort Telecom Adapter or Express Modem transmits data calling tones after dialling. Data calling tones allow the remote machine to detect automatically that an incoming call is a data modem call. If you are dialling into a system that supports data, fax and voice calls (such as another GeoPort Telecom Adapter), you should select this connection script in the Apple Remote Access Setup control panel.
Communication settings
If you are using a terminal emulator or communications program that supports the Apple Communications Toolbox, you should select the “Express Modem Tool” from the connection settings menu item. This tool’s default settings will always try to establish connections at the highest possible speed with error correction and compression enabled.
Using RAM Doubler
If you are using RAM Doubler from Connectix with Apple Telecom software, you should use RAM Doubler version 1.6.2 or later.
Troubleshooting
Using a Centris 660AV or Quadra 660AV/840AV
If you are using a Centris 660AV or Quadra 660AV/840AV and experience errors when attempting to establish a connection, you may need to change the audio settings on your computer. The default setting of 24.000 kHz is compatible with the GeoPort Telecom Adapter. To change this setting, open the sound control panel, choose “Sound Out” and select the “24.000 kHz” sampling rate.
Clicking sound from GeoPort Telecom Adapter
If your computer freezes, the GeoPort Telecom Adapter can lose its connection with your computer and may generate a rapid clicking sound. This sound is a temporary side-effect of the lost connection. To stop the clicking, unplug the adapter for a few seconds or restart your computer.
Apple Telecom Installer: Custom remove
If you want to use Custom Remove in the Apple Telecom Install window, it is recommended that you first restart your computer with extensions off.
