Connecting to the Internet
Your Multi-Tech modem is your gateway to the Internet and the World Wide Web. To access the Internet
and Web via your modem, you must establish a dial-up account with an Internet service provider (ISP).
To locate an ISP near you, look in a local directory or computer publication. Your ISP should provide you
with the following information:
•
User name (also called user ID)
•
Password
•
Access number (the number you call to connect to the server)
•
Host name and/or domain name
•
Domain Name Server (DNS) server address
If, besides the Web, you use the Internet for e-mail and newsgroups, your ISP should also provide you
with the following information:
•
E-mail or POP mail address
•
POP server address
•
Mail or SMTP address
•
News or NNT server address
Dial-Up Networking
Before you can connect to the Internet, you must set up a remote-node client program on your computer.
The Windows version is called Dial-Up Networking. Dial-Up Networking establishes your connection to
the ISPís server, which is the shared computer that manages calls from clients (your computer) to the
Internet. Most, if not all, Windows browsers start Dial-Up Networking automatically when you open them.
For instructions on how to set up Dial-Up Networking, consult your ISP or your operating systemís online
help or printed documentation. Many ISPs include with their service a program that will install and
configure Dial-Up Networking automatically for you.
Sending a Fax
You can use the PhoneTools program included with your modem to send and receive faxes directly from
your computer. The following procedure uses print capture, which enables you to fax a document directly
from the Windows application in which you created it without opening PhoneTools.
1. Install PhoneTools if it is not already installed.
2. Create a document in a Windows application, such as a word processor, graphic editor, or
spreadsheet. To fax the document, keep the document open and select the Print command from
the File menu.
3. Select CAPTURE FAX +BVRP as the printer driver, and then click OK. The Send Fax wizard
appears.
4. In the Recipient section, type the required information or extract it from the Phone Book by
clicking
.
5. In the Template section, optionally select a cover page and type a cover message.
6. Select the document to be sent. The default file when sending from within a Windows application
is Capture.dgr.
7. Select the date and time to send the document, if you do not want to send it immediately.
8. Click Finish to start the transmission.
