Traveling With Your Faxmodem - Zoom PCMCIA V.90 User Manual

To Disable the PC Card's Sleep Mode:
Change your communication software's initialization
string to include S24=0. For example, if the current ini-
tialization string is AT&C1&D2, change it to
AT&C1&D2S24=0.
If you want to disable your PC Card's sleep mode "perma-
nently," run your Windows HyperTerminal program. Give
the command ATS24=0&W&Y (Enter). This command
will last until you change the S24 setting from 0 using
HyperTerminal.
Note: You can set S24 to any value between and in-
cluding 1 and 255 seconds (0 = off.)
Disabling the Computer's Sleep Mode When Using
Auto-Answer
Many notebook computers also have a sleep mode. It is
usually implemented by software that automatically shifts
the computer to a reduced operating speed when the
processor has been idle for more than a specified period
of time. If you want the modem to answer incoming data
or fax calls when you are away from the computer, you
may need to disable the computer's sleep mode. See
Appendix A: Disabling Power Management in Windows
95/98. You should also enable the auto-answer function
in the fax or data communications software.

Traveling with Your Faxmodem

When you pack your computer for travel, you can leave
the modem in the PC Card slot and simply disconnect
and pack the phone cable. The modem does not draw
power from the computer battery when the computer is
off.
