Configuring your data or fax software
Once properly connected and configured, your PC will recognize your phone as an external standard fax/modem. However, your fax or data software may already be configured 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 existing settings.
Please refer to the documentation or online help files for your data or fax application when creating new dialing configurations, or modifying existing settings.
To start a data or fax call
Note: The restrict calls feature may affect any data/fax calls you attempt. If you experience problems, check your call restrictions. See page 57 for details.
1.Initiate a data or fax call using your data or fax software configured for your phone.
2.When trying to connect to the network, the phone displays Connecting... Once connected, the text Data call (or Fax call) remains on the display for the duration of the data or fax call.
3.Terminate the data call from your data software; fax calls typically terminate automatically.
Note: Avoid terminating a call by pressing your phone’s 
key. This may cause your data or fax application to temporarily lock up and could cause loss of data.
Note: Data or fax calls cannot be initiated using your phone’s keypad. All data and fax calls must be initiated using the data or fax software.
To receive a data or fax call
Your phone must be connected to your PC via the data cable.
1.The appropriate data or fax software must be run- ning. Consider setting your data or fax software to automatically answer incoming calls so you can receive them while away from your PC.
2.Your phone will display either Data call or Fax call, depending on the type of incoming call.
3.Terminate the data call from your data software; fax calls typically terminate automatically.
Note: Avoid terminating a call by pressing your phone’s 
key. This may cause your data or fax application to temporarily lock up and could cause loss of data.
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
Most popular data and fax programs allow you to send additional initialization commands to the modem when the program is launched, or when the modem is instructed to receive 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
