Solving Travel Connection Problems

If you experience connection problems while using the modem outside your home country, the following suggestions may help:

Check the telephone line type.

The modem requires an analog, not a digital, telephone line. A line described as a PBX line is usually a digital line. A telephone line described as a data line, fax machine line, modem line, or standard telephone line is probably an analog line.

Check the tone or pulse dialing settings.

Dial a few digits on the telephone and listen for clicks (pulses) or tones. Then

1.Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Phone and Modem Options > Dialing Rules tab.

2.Select your location and then select Edit.

3.Select either Tone or Pulse, depending on what you heard on the line.

4.Select OK > OK.
