Modem
Ring Resume Function
With this function, if the telephone that is connected to the modem rings in the standby
mode, the power of the computer automatically switches on.
This function is convenient when using automatic information receiving applications
such as a FAX application.
When using this function, it is necessary to run a software application able to maintain
the condition to receive telephone calls and to return the computer to the original condi-
tion after a call.
To use this function;
Windows 2000
1
Select [Device Manager] in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [System] - [Hard-
ware].
Windows XP
Select [Device Manager] in [Start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance]
- [System] - [Hardware].
2 Select the modem you are using from [Modems].
3 Select [Power Management], add the check mark for [Allow this device to bring the
computer out of standby], then select [OK].
NOTE
This function does not work when the computer is off or is in hibernation mode.
When using this function, it is recommended that the AC adaptor be connected to
the computer.
The computer cannot resume if a telephone is connected to the line of a modem
(e.g., a PC Card modem) other than the internal modem.
Concerning the setting for [System standby]*, roughly consider the communica-
tion time and then set [System standby].
There may be cases where the computer enters the standby mode after the time
set for [System standby] elapses even during communications, and cuts off the
communications. If [Never] is set, the computer will not enter the standby mode
during communications, but once the computer resumes, the power of the com-
puter will remain on while the user is absent.

When the Ring Resume function is being used, some time elapses before a
connection is established (equal to the time for the computer to resume). To allow
the computer to resume, set the "call" to a larger value than a typical telephone
call.
If it is not possible for the sending side to set a long "call", set the "number of rings
until answer" (with the software application that is able to maintain the condition
to receive telephone calls) to a small value.
