11 Data and fax software setup

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.

• OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS

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.

•The DKU-5 data cable must be connected and working properly.

•You must establish a connection between your PC.

•You must already have installed your phone as a modem.

•Your data software must be running and configured to recognize your Nokia phone as the active modem.

•USE MICROSOFT DIAL-UP NETWORKING FOR PACKET DATA (2G, 3G) AND QNC

You can use Windows Dial-up Networking to connect to the Internet through your wireless service provider. However, instead of dialing a traditional phone number, the dialing string to access the packet data network or QNC network is, for example:

#777

Check with your wireless service provider for the exact dialing string needed and for your username and password (if required).
