Configuring your data or fax software
Once properly connected and configured, your PC will
recognize your phone as an external fax/modem. However,
your fax or data software may already be configured to use
the existing PCMCIA or internal modem.
Before you can use your phone to send and receive data
or faxes, you must reconfigure your fax or data software
so that it uses your phone rather than your existing
modem. You may consider creating a separate set of
dialing properties to use when your phone is connected,
rather than changing any existing settings.
Please refer to the documentation or online help files for
your data or fax application when creating new dialing
configurations, or modifying existing settings.
To start a data or fax call
Note: The restrict calls feature may affect any data/fax calls you
attempt. If you experience problems, check your call restrictions.
See page 57 for details.

This may cause your data or fax application to temporarily lock up
and could cause loss of data.

keypad. All data and fax calls must be initiated using the data or
fax software.
