The first thing to do is determine which version of modem you are working with and what Max controller you are installing it to.
If you are using a Hub Max 3 and installing a max 3 modem (M3M) the Hubmanager 8 application will work fine.
However, if you are installing a Max 2 modem (SS-modem) it will only work on a Hub Max 2 controller and the version of modem needs to be defined if it is version 1 or version 2.
The easiest fix is to use Hubmanager 7.4 as there are less known issues when connecting to a modem.
Max 3/MiniMax 3 Systems – Modem Communication Error.
Affected Product: p/n M3M – Max 3 Modem Module.
Problem:
Errors may occur when attempting to communicate to a Max3 system using the Max3 Modem (M3M) for the first time. When trying to establish a connection, you get an error message stating that there is either no connection, or the number of retries has been exceeded and door 1 is not found. The error is found in the Max 3 Modem with a manufactured date code prior to 2308 (where 23 is the week number and 08 is the year). If you are currently using the Max 3 Modem and have not experienced the communication error, this problem does not apply.
