Setting up a fax or

data connection

This section describes how to set up a fax or data connection on

the LandPhone.

Note: You cannot use a conventional fax machine with the LandPhone.

You can only use appropriate fax software. For a list of recommended

fax software solutions, contact your service provider.

Connect the LandPhone's 'Data' port to your computer using either:

• A serial-to-serial cable (RS232), with a male DB9 connector, or

• A USB-to-serial cable, with a male DB9 connector.

The cable you require depends on the connector on your computer.

Note: The LandPhone is not supplied with a data cable.

This procedure applies for both incoming and outgoing fax or data

data calls using a Windows XP computer. For other operating systems,

refer to 'Preparing for a data call using dial-up networking' on page 56.
