Check to see if the phone line has a dial tone.
-
Check your baud rate in the software you use to transmit to National Payment Corporation. If the baud rate is 9600 or below, find out if your modem will handle a higher baud rate, and set it higher. If your baud rate is at the highest rate you can choose, lower it.

Check the phone number and make sure it is correct. If you need to dial a prefix like (9) nine before dialing make sure that it is there and that there are no (-) dashes in the number. Also add a (,) comma after the prefix and (1) one in the 800 number.

Reboot the computer and if you have a external modem turn it off then back on.

If you have another computer with a modem – give it a try.
