LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual Disable call waiting and answering machines

NOTE To let other computers connect to your computer by modem, you must change the security setup established during installation. Remember that passwords are case- sensitive.

Disable call waiting and answering machines

Ensure that the call waiting feature is disabled on the tele- phone systems at both ends of the connection. Call waiting and answering machines can interfere with modem connec- tions when incoming calls are detected.

Use Dialing Properties to simplify the dialing process.

In the Telephone Number box, type the number EXACTLY as it is to be dialed, including numbers dialed to get an out-

side line, area codes, country codes, and a “1” when dialing long distance.

Disable other programs that use COM ports while run- ning LapLink

You may experience problems if you use LapLink to connect by modem while running any other programs that monitor serial (COM) ports; modem and fax programs as well as PDA software, typically monitor serial ports for incoming calls or faxes and may cause a modem to disconnect unex- pectedly. Disable such programs while using LapLink.
