Configuring your modem

Before you can start using your internal modem (not all modem are built-in), or each time you use your modem while travelling, make sure
that the country of the active location defined in the Phone and Modem Options dialog box matches the country you are dialling from.
You may notice a Country Selector tab under your current modem driver options. As the Country Selector tab is not a constant
feature, do not use this tab to change the country settings. Only the following procedure is reliable.
To change your modem country settings, proceed as follows:
1 Click Start and then Control Panel.
2 Double-click Phone and Modem Options.
The Phone and Modem Options dialog box appears.
If you do not see the Phone and Modem Options dialog box, click Switch to Classic View on the left side.
3 Select your location on the Dialing Rules tab.
4 Click the Edit button to change the current configuration.
The Edit Location dialog box appears.
Or
Click the New button to configure your modem.
The New Location dialog box appears.
5 Check the country/region settings, and make sure it matches the place you are dialling from.
Pulse dial may not be supported in some counties and/or regions.
6 If you modified your location settings, click Apply, and then OK.
The Phone and Modem Options dialog box appears.
7 Check that your modem is listed in the Modems tab.
If your modem is not listed, click Add and follow the wizard.
8 Click Apply/OK. Your modem is configured.
Before applying new country settings, please make sure your phone line is disconnected from your VAIO computer.
