Hot Swapping the Faxmodem Card
Your PC Card modem hardware supports hot swapping
(or "hot plugging"). This means that after installing the
modem you can remove and re-insert it as needed with-
out powering down or restarting (rebooting) your com-
puter. If you are using Windows 95/98 with PC Card 2.x-
compliant card management software, hot swapping is
supported automatically.
Remember: PC Cards are not hot-swappable when
running Windows NT.
Note: For reliable communications, you should insert
the modem card before you start up your data
communications or fax software. Otherwise the
modem will not receive the initialization string
from the software. You should remove the modem
only after you exit the software or the modem may
not receive important call termination information.
Conserving Power
To conserve power when the modem is running on the
computer's battery, the PC Card defaults to sleep mode
when not in use. When the modem is in sleep mode, it
"wakes up" as soon as it senses activity such as a modem
command or an incoming call.
