Topic: Why does my modem disconnect when my computer goes into Stand by mode?

The preinstalled Lucent™ Win Modem does not support the Wake On Ring (WOR) feature of the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system. For optimal use, Sony recommends that you do not change the preset modem settings in the Power Management Properties window.

2Click Printers and Other Hardware, then click Phone and Modem options.

3From the Dialing Rules tab, click Edit. The Edit Location dialog box appears.

4Select the Tone or Pulse option. Click OK.
