NetcallerID not working, need help

[DavidL]

Remove the modem support software first, then delete the modem driver (if still exists) and THEN remove the modem physically.

For CallerID purposes the NetCallerID hardware does the best job.

There are other plugins in the works (MLPhoneDialer) that require a modem to make outbound calls. But, get things clean now, and then readd later when needed.

PS....you might want to consider buying a 40 gig hard drive and installing a new OS on it and making sure your system is clean. Keep the current OS drive as is. Drives are dirt cheap now. for $40 you could have a clean system. Image the clean system after you do a complete OS load w/ patches and latest drivers so you can always go quickly back to a virgin PC. Add MainLobby stuff and reimage again. This process is covered in the First time guide in the Wiki.

thanks david for the comprehensive reply. I will indeed do a clean install once the house is done and get moved in. I am forced now to use what i have an quickly so i can learn as much as I can before we have our first production ML install.

We are looking at branding our own machines, clean, fresh, only has what is needed, etc. i think its best. same with music/movie media (less storage for copyrighted movies OF COURSE).

working on a new machine spec now. hopefully by fourth quarter we wil have our first offering.

thanks again.

I am having the same exact problem and get the error ---->Initializing NetCallerID hardware for line 1 (CommPORT=2)

and nothing happens after that. I have the MLCallerID set to Comm Port=NetcallerID

I have tried multiple ports and unfortunately get the same thing. I have a serial port monitor program which shows that the plugin is acessing the port and nothing else is trying to communicate with that port. I have even tried unistalling all my cinemar products with a fresh install w/o success. What am I doing wrong?

I can do a paste of the serial communication if that helps.

[DavidL]

digital, the MLCallerID plugin is set for NetCallerID (not com 2) if you are using the NetCallerID hardware.

The MLNetCallerID plugin is set to com 2 (if that's the com port you have the hardware plugged into.

[digitaltrader]

Thats exactly what I have it set as and its not working.

[digitaltrader]

The mlNetCallerID plugin just hangs:

--->Initializing NetCallerID hardware for line 1 (CommPORT=2)

The MLCallerID is set to comm=netcallerID

I try all of my available comm ports without any success and the serial port monitoring program shows mlserver accessing the port. Could this be due to a registry issue?

Here is the serial port logger file:

Thats what posts and all I can see is:

--->Initializing NetCallerID hardware for line 1 (CommPORT=2)

-I have been working on this 5 hours without any luck.

[DavidL]

Have you tried the NetCallerID software without MLServer running connected to the same comport that the netcallerid hardware is plugged into? If that doesn't work, you have a PC comport hardware / driver or netcallerid hardware problem.

IF this does work, disable the netcallerID software and run the latest mlnetcallerID plugin on same comport on latest mlserver3.

send calls from your cell phone to your caller id line to test.

Odds are you do have something attached to the comport. MLGenericSerial plugin? MLGenericDevice? XMLobby? Disable all plugins except for MLNetCallerID and MLPause and try again.

[digitaltrader]

I cant find a link to the netcallerid software to test it as I no longer have the original CD.

[digitaltrader]

I installed a clean Vista install from my original XP and have all my other mlserver plugins working on various comm ports and this plugin still fails. I have loaded only the mlcallerid and mlnetcallerid plugins and it still fails to work and have insured that it is not that another program is accessing the same comm port. I am not sure what to do next?
