User data

The User data card contains your personal infor- mation. You can freely edit the information in the Name, Company, Job title, Address, Tel, Fax, Tel(GSM), Fax(GSM), E-mail and URL fields.

The User data will automatically be included in the the corresponding fields of the fax cover page within the Fax application. Likewise, the SMS application uses this information when you send your own business card.

Fax modem

The Nokia 9000i Communicator can be used as a

9600 bps PC fax modem if:

Data calls are supported by the network you are using.

This service is activated for your SIM card.

You have the proper fax driver software (for either cable or infrared connection) installed on your PC.

The fax driver software can be found on the Nokia Communications Server diskette that comes with the sales package. For more in- formation, see the readme.txt file included on the diskette, or consult the user's guide of your computer on how to install new mo- dems. If you want to receive data calls, your SIM card also needs a data number. Contact your network operator for details.

To use the communicator as a fax modem via in- frared:

Make sure you have loaded the Microsoft in- frared drivers onto your PC, and that the soft- ware is runnning.

Make sure you have downloaded the fax mo- dem software for infrared from the Nserver diskette onto your PC.

Connect the communicator to the PC via an infrared link as described in ”To establish an infrared connection:” on page 10-6.

ƒWait until the connection is established, and then press Activate in the Fax modem main view. This will change the communicator to a

fax modem. When the communicator is used as a fax modem, the call status indicator shows the text MODEM.

To stop using communicator as a fax modem, press Disable.

Operations of a modem can be controlled by AT commands and S-registers. These commands give the advanced user an opportunity to control all the features of the modem. However, it is not always necessary to enter the AT commands manually. Most PC communications applications have a user-friendly interface that hides the AT commands from the user. Should you need to enter the commands manually, consult the doc- umentation of the PC application that you are using.

A list of the common AT commands (based on the ETSI 07.07 standard) supported by the Nokia 9000i Communicator are available as an ASCII text file on the diskette that came with the sales package of your communicator.

When the communicator is used as a fax modem, its normal communication features are disabled (otherwise, the applications remain functional).

If an active PC connection is idle for longer than 20 minutes, the fax modem mode is automati- cally disabled to conserve power. However, when the communicator is connected to an electrical outlet (for example, while charging a battery), the time-out is not active.
