procedure. Once a connection to your ISP is established, it will remain in place until you disconnect or until it is automatically disconnected due to the degradation of signal quality or due to inactivity.

Note! Throughout this chapter, references to data/fax/internet will be referred to as simply data.

Before You Start

Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the following:

•Make sure that you have the required hardware and software components.

Note! You must have an Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager Accessory Kit, which includes a serial interface cable, to connect your Ericsson mobile phone to your computer. The kit also includes a compact disc with the software required to install your phone as a modem on your com- puter.

•Confirm that your mobile service provider supports digital data services in your planned usage area. If digital data service is not available, you can pur- chase an analog modem card that is compatible with your Ericsson mobile phone and use data functions on the available analog system.

•Verify that you have the necessary subscription.

Note! The availability of digital mobile voice service does not necessarily imply that your mobile service operator sup- ports digital data operation.

Setting Up Your Computer

To operate properly with the modem in your Ericsson mobile phone, make sure that your computer has the following hardware and software:

•A functional serial port

•An operating system that supports data access soft- ware, such as Windows 95 or Windows 98

•Appropriate fax (class 2.0), Internet access, or file transfer software

Note! Class “2.0” is different from Class “2”.

Initial Setup

Successful first-time setup of your phone and computer for data operation involves the following steps:

Connect Your Computer to Your Phone

Your Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager Acces- sory Kit contains a serial interface cable. The cable has a plug on one end that matches the receptacle on the bottom of your Ericsson mobile phone. The other end of the cable has a 9-pin female connector that matches the standard 9-pin serial interface port
