Connectivity

Modem

You can link together your phone as a modem to a computer or a PDA to access the Internet.

To use the X800 phone as a modem, there are three options; connect using either the infrared port or Bluetooth, or connect using the Panasonic USB cable (EB-USX800). See “Accessories” on page 173 for USB cable information.

Prerequisites

Set up a dial-up account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

From your ISP, you need the installation CD or your account details (e.g. dial-up number, user name, password, DNS server addresses) to configure Dial Up Networking.

When setting up your Internet account for the first time, select X800 as the connecting modem device. For further details, contact your ISP. For help using Windows® Dial Up Networking, search Windows® Help files.
