ERROR_CTX_MODEM_RESPONSE_NO_DIALTONE

Dial tone not detected within the required time. Verify that the phone cable is properly attached and functional.

ERROR_CTX_MODEM_RESPONSE_NO_DIALTONE is Win32 error 7014 (0x00001B66).

What to verify

Verify whether the modem detects a usable dial tone before the configured dialing deadline. Check line connection and dial-tone test, dial prefix and location settings, and modem country profile.

Likely causes

  • the telephone cable is disconnected.
  • the line requires an outside-line prefix.
  • the modem uses the wrong country or line profile.
  • the line has no service or incompatible signaling.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Collect line connection and dial-tone test.
  2. Record dial prefix and location settings.
  3. Correlate modem country profile with TerminalServices operational logs, session and user-configuration records, device or modem diagnostics, and the caller’s connection trace.

Handling, retry, and recovery

Restore line service or correct dialing/location settings, then verify dial tone with the modem diagnostic tool before retrying callback.

Example

A server moved behind a PBX but the callback number lacks the outside-line prefix. Updating the dialing rule lets the modem detect tone and place the call.
