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. For further details, refer to the operating instructions provided with
software applications.
Enabling the Ring Resume Functions
1
Windows 2000
Select [Device Manager] in [Star t] - [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.
After operations are resumed from standby status, the screen remains dark. The
former screen display will be restored when the keyboard, touch pad or touch-
screen is used.
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.
CAUTION
When using this function, it is recommended that the AC adaptor be connected to
the computer.
Concerning the setting for [System standby]*
• Roughly consider the communication 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 communica-
tions, but once the computer resumes, the power of the computer will remain
on while the user is absent.
When the Ring Resume function is being used, some time elapses before a con-
nection 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.
