Digital Line Detect

External Since: Dec 20, 2004 Posts: 1

I keep getting an error box popping up that reads: "Digital Line
Detected(PBX). Please verify that the phone line from your computer is
directly connected to a standard analog modem or fax line".

I switched from a desktop to a laptop and re-connected the same cords. I
never had the error before. Any help???

Thanks,

Haven't given us much to go on.....home or office? Dial-up or broadband?
Help people to help you.

A PBX is generally associated with a phone system that can switch between
multiple lines--to do this, they convert your voice from an analog to
digital signal...a modem does the same thing, but a modem on a digital
system will not work since the PBX is trying to convert an already digital
signal from analog...the whole system just falters.
