Communication Setup Options - Zoom 2985C User Manual

•
If you want to connect to your online service or ISP, you must exit
the communication software first. While you are on line and if you
do not have a V.92 modem model, you may not receive calls or
faxes.
•
Some computers have a power saving option that stops the hard
drive from spinning after a period of inactivity. If a call comes in,
it may fail to connect while the hard drive restarts and activates
the software. If this happens, you should deactivate the feature
of your power saving option that stops the hard drive. See your
computer's documentation for details.

Communication Setup Options

If you run into configuration difficulties with your communication soft-
ware, it may be helpful to read the following section.
In setting up some older software programs, you may be asked to
enter certain information. Most programs have default settings that
are correct for use with this modem, and there is no need to change
them. However, you should be aware of the following items:
If you are asked to select the "modem type" from a menu, and you
don't see your modem listed by name, select the most descriptive
name such as V.92 modem, 56K modem, or generic Class 1 Mo-
dem.
In the dialing directory, set all entries to the highest possible baud
rate, if your software and serial port support these speeds (do not go
over 115,200 bps). All communications between the computer and
the faxmodem take place at this higher speed, independent of the
modem-to-modem speed.
If your fax software gives you the option of selecting Class 1 or
Class 2 fax drivers, select Class 1.
