I'm in the process of converting from HS2 to HS3. I have a script that used to announce the caller ID information; it was working in conjunction with an ancient Homeseer Phone hardware interface.
In attempting to port all this over, I purchased a Win 10 compatible modem, specifically a Conexant USB CX94010 ACF Modem, which Windows assigned to COM 5. Windows says everything is working correctly and I have confirmed that it will communicate with the modem.
However, I can't figure out if/how to get HS3 to communicate with the modem. in the HS3 interface under Tools/Setup/Phone, under "Line Specific Settings" I have only one option: a "Way2Call Hi-Phone Desktop on line: Default Line". This might be the ancient device mentioned above, as I have it connected to the Conexant modem, but I can't tell, as nothing else seems to work (i.e. no caller ID, etc.).
In the startup log, I find the following:
So my questions are:
1. Do I need some sort of Homeseer compatible gear other than the Conexant modem to be able to capture and process Caller ID info?
2. If the Conexant modem is sufficient, do I just connect it to my phone line and my computer? Where in the HS3 interface do I tell it to look on COM 5 to recognize the modem?
3. If I need additional gear, is my ancient phone interface box from Homeseer sufficient? If not, what do I need?
Thanks for any advice,
Jerry
