Select Never to disable the feature. Otherwise, select

Incoming Calls Answer

By default the card is set to answer all calls as voice

 

calls. To receive a fax or data call, you must set this

 

field accordingly before the call is answered. This

 

means that anyone wanting to send a fax, or

 

establish a data connection with the card must

 

notify you in advance so that you can change this

 

field before the call is made.

 

If you select “next call asFax”or “next call asData”,

 

the card maintains the setting for one call, or until

 

the PCS Connection Manager Software is restarted.

 

If you select “all calls as Fax” or “all calls as Data”,

 

the card maintains the setting until you select

 

another option.

 

 

Call Logging Retain

You have the option of maintaining records of your

 

outgoing and incoming calls in the Call Log. (The

 

Call Log is displayed when you select MENU > Call

 

Log, and is described on page 71.)

 

This field allows you to specify the number of calls

 

retained. Select none, all, last 50 calls, or last 100

 

calls from the drop-down menu.
