Question-and-Answer Manual

|
If you're having problems with ToneLoc or are curious about some
|
|
aspect of ToneLoc, this is the file for you. We try to talk with as
|
|
many ToneLoc users as possible. We also scan 100,000 or more numbers a
|
|
month between us, so we've come across lots of common problems. This
|
|
file is a compilation of these common problems and questions. It is
|
|
divided into two parts; first the troubleshooting section; then the
|
|
question/answer section.

ToneLoc doesn't work. Read the docs.

|
ToneLoc doesn't seem to recognize Check the obvious first: Is your

the modem; nothing echos and all baud rate set? Is the port correct?
|
|
it gets are TimeOut(0)'s. It Is the fossil enabled/disabled?
|
|
won't initialize or dial. If all these are set correctly,
|
|
you should at least get something
|
|
back from the modem. Try lowering
|
|
the baud rate, or turning fossil
|
|
on/off.
|
|
|
|
When I run ToneLoc, the first Add a delay after your Speaker ON
|
|
number isn't dialed, it just sits string by adding a tilde (~) onto
|
|
there and gets a TimeOut (0). the SpeakOn string in TONELOC.CFG.
|
|
The second number dials fine.

When I find a tone, ToneLoc does Experiment with the 'ToneHangup'

|
|
|
|
ToneLoc isn't recognizing tones. Not all modems support the W;
|
|
command well enough for ToneLoc
|
|
to use this feature. Check
|
|
TL-USER.DOC for a complete
|
|
explanation.

|
to connect. set your baud rate lower (300 or
|
|
1200).

|
|
|
Responses from the modem get cut Increase GetDelay in the config

|
off. For example, I get Unknown file by 50 milliseconds at a time.
|
|
responses with strings like If you get to 500 and the problem
|
|
"CONNE" and "RINGIN". still exists, look elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
When my parents walk by and see Use the <B>lank key while scanning.
|
|
ToneLoc running, they start asking You can create your own screen, or
|
|
all sorts of questions. Like use the included ones. It looks like
|
|
"what is this doing?" "What are you're doing your homework, but you
|
|
all these phone numbers?" "You are actually scanning!
|
|
aren't a HACKER are you?"
|
|
|
|
ToneLoc makes too much noise. You can disable all sound by
|
|
adding the /Q option to the
|
|
command line.
|
|
|
|
I have 3-way calling, and ToneLoc Set 'BetweenDelay' higher in the
|
|
is picking up the 3-way and gets config file. For 3-way, it may have

My lame modem sends an extra Turn on the IgnoreUnknown option in

and ToneLoc keeps saying "Unknown:"

|
|
|
I run ToneLoc at night, but my Read the docs. Then use the /E:
|
|
parents notice it running on their option. Using /E:6:30 would stop
|
|
phone line in the morning. scanning at 6:30 a.m.

I want to use COM5-COM8 but I can't Experiment with 'IOAddx' and 'IRQ'

I want ToneLoc to start scanning Use the /S command line option:
