The port may:
-Already be in use
-Be damaged.
Modem not connected The PC receives no reply from the modem following the 'AT' command.

The messages below describe the modem 's status if the PC dial attempt (ATD+ number) fails. Any one of these errors
aborts the Dial process.
Modem Busy
Modem Error
No Dial Tone
No Carrier
Note This can occur if, within the modem initialization strings, the parameter S7 TimeOut,
is to short to permit the PLC's modem to answer.
For example, if this parameter is set as S7=30, the PC modem will wait for 3 seconds to
receive an answer from the PLC's modem. If the PLC modem does not answer before the 3
seconds have elapsed, the S7=30 parameter is exceeded, and the PC modem will return the No
Carrier error.
Dial time-out exceeded No reply was received from the modem within the defined time.
The messages below only relate to unsuccessful GSM modem initialization.
