Configuring your data or fax software

Once properly connected and configured, your PC will recog-
nize your phone as an external standard fax/modem.
However, your fax or data software may already be config-
ured to use the existing PCMCIA or internal modem.
Before you can use your phone to send and receive data or
faxes, you must reconfigure your fax or 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, rather than changing any ex-
isting settings.
Please refer to the documentation or online help files for
your data or fax application when creating new dialing con-
figurations, or modifying existing settings.

Manual selection of incoming data/fax calls

Certain service providers require that you preset your phone
to receive the incoming data or fax call, rather than having
the phone automatically detect the call type.
Check with your service provider to see if "pre-arrangement" of data
and/or fax calls is necessary.
Most popular data and fax programs allow you to send ad-
ditional initialization commands to the modem when the
program is launched, or when the modem is instructed to re-
ceive a call. You will need to modify your phone's modem
configuration in the data or fax software so that it sends the
following special initialization string to the modem:
To preset your phone to receive a data call:
AT+CSP=1
To preset your phone to receive a fax call:
AT+CSP=2
You should only have to make this modification once; these
settings typically are saved as a part of your data or fax pro-
gram's settings. Please refer to the documentation or online
help files for your data or fax application when modifying
your modem's initialization string.
