11 Wireless modem setup

Your phone can function as a wireless modem when connected to your PC (using IR or cable). Once your phone is installed and
configured properly, your phone works in conjunction with the data or fax software installed on your PC, allowing you to connect to
a corporate network, the Internet, or check e-mail wherever you are.
Important: This feature is available only if your service provider's network supports General Packet Radio Service (GPRS),
Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), or circuit-switched data (CSD) digital data and fax services (sometimes
known as GSM data). A subscription to these services may also be necessary. Check with your service provider for more
details.
If you wish to connect your phone and PC using IR, make sure that your PC IR port is functioning properly and that there are no
device conflicts. Windows cannot detect your phone if the IR port is not functioning properly or if the IR port is conflicting with
another device.
Windows 2000 Professional operating system users who wish to connect to a PC using IR, see "IR and Windows 2000 Professional
operating system" on page 33 for important information on modem setup for your operating system.
