Chapter 7: Configuring Communications

Setting Up Your netpad

2.A modem.

You will need a modem to connect your netpad to the telephone net- work. You can use the following types of modem with your netpad:

Standard external PC modems.

Internal radio modem (GSM variant), see “GSM/GPRS Modem Config- uration” on page 68 for details.

Infrared-enabled mobile phones with built-in modems.

3.A telephone connection.

If you are using a standard external modem, you will need to connect your modem to a telephone socket. If you are using a mobile phone, your network operator will need to enable your SIM (Subscriber Iden- tity Module) card so that you can make fax and data calls on your phone. If your phone has been enabled for fax and data calls, you should have two extra phone numbers. Contact your network operator if you are unsure whether your phone's SIM card is ‘data-enabled’.
