Chapter 2: Using the Faxmodem
If you have installed the fax and communication software that came with your faxmodem, you probably do not need to read this chapter. The software sets itself up automati- cally and takes care of sending any necessary commands to the faxmodem.
You may, however, want to read this chapter if you want to learn some general facts about how software works with your faxmodem or if you intend to use your new faxmodem with other software.
This chapter explains how to get Internet access, and pro- vides tips for setting up faxing and communications soft- ware, sending AT commands to the faxmodem, and using a video camera.
Accessing the Internet
To access the Internet and the World Wide Web, use an online service such as America Online (AOL) or Compu- Serve, or an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The best place to start is your ZoomLink CD, which includes Internet and online services for you to try.
Setting Up the Fax and Communications Software
Most software programs identify the modem automatically and configure themselves for the correct operating set- tings.
Note: If you want to continue using software that had been set up for a different modem, you may need to reinstall the software or change its settings to run with your new faxmodem. See the documentation or help files of your existing software.
If you run into difficulty configuring or reconfiguring your software, it may be helpful to read the following section,
