Getting started with the Data Connectivity Kit
Attaching the Data Cable
Before you install the fax/modem software on your computer, it is a good idea to attach the
cable to the computer and phone.
1.
Plug into phone
Plug the smaller (male) end of the data cable, with the release tab facing up, into the
accessory connector on your phone.
2.
Plug into computer
The other end of the data cable is a female 9-pin plug. Find the matching serial port on
the back of your computer and insert the 9-pin plug, then tighten the screws by hand.
To indicate the cable is attached on both ends, your phone will beep once.
Before starting data transmission, move the VOICE/DATA switch to DATA. This switch is
located under the release tab for the data connector, near the accessory connector on your
phone.
To start using data transfer services you will need data transmission software such as WinFax,
or HyperTerminal, existing in your computer.
Placing a data call
Keep in mind: You will not be able to place a data or fax call through your phone's keypad,
using last ten dialed, or with caller ID. All data and fax calls must be placed through your
computer.
1.
Connect
Make sure the cable is connected properly. Move the VOICE/DATA switch to DATA.
This switch is located under the release tab for the data connector, near the accessory
connector on your phone.
2.
Place call
Open the application on your computer, like a fax or dial-up application, and place the
call through the application on your computer. The phone will display the number your
computer is calling (or the name if in the internal phone book). You will see: Connecting.
Your phone will automatically redial 3 times (or until it is successful). If the call is not
connected after 3 tries, the display will return to idle.
Ending a data call
Keep in mind: Some of the normal ways to end a call, such as pressing the Smart button or
pressing [END], will not work in this case, and are liable to affect proper working of the
computer.
