10 Configure your data and fax software
Before you can use your phone to send and receive digital data and fax calls, you must configure your data software so that it uses
your phone rather than your existing modem. You may consider creating a separate set of dialing properties to use when your phone
is connected to your computer, rather than changing any existing settings.
The following pages are designed to help you configure some of the more popular applications to be used with your Nokia phone.
• OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
Before making or receiving digital data or fax calls:
•
You must subscribe to digital data and fax services with your service provider.
•
Your phone must be powered up, and you must be in a digital network. Do not switch the phone on when wireless phone use
is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
•
Your PC IR port or COM port must be working properly
•
You must establish a connection between your PC
•
You must already have installed your Nokia phone as a modem.
• CONFIGURE YOUR DATA SOFTWARE
Before you can use your phone as a wireless modem, you must configure your data software so that it uses your phone as the active
modem (rather than your existing modem). The following pages are designed to help you configure some of the more popular
applications for digital data and fax calls.
• USE MICROSOFT DIAL-UP NETWORKING
You may be using Microsoft's Dial-up Networking feature to connect to your Internet service provider, or to make a remote
connection to your corporate network (including corporate e-mail server using Microsoft Outlook, or Lotus cc:Mail).
Rather than altering the existing configurations you use when dialing with your existing modem, consider creating a new
connection exclusively for use with your Nokia phone (as detailed below).
GATHER CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
You need the phone number for your Internet service provider or for your company's remote access server. When testing the new
connection, you also need your user name and password.

Double-click the My Computer icon, then double-click the Dial-up Networking folder.
