Configure the Modem for Your Country

Different countries have different requirements for how modems must function. Therefore, before you use your modem, you must configure it to match the defaults of the country/region in which you are using it. You must also do this if you move the modem to another country/region after it has been configured for the first country/region. The modem is set to country, Euro/NAM, with a country code of 52 decimal by default. You can use one of two configuration methods:

Use the Global Wizard to Configure Your Modem

Use AT Commands to Configure Your Modem

The Global Wizard configuration utility is recommended for computers running Windows 2000 or newer.
