Specifying the type of modem you use
Once you have connected your MC 218 and modem, the next stage is to tell
the software what type of modem you are using. The MC 218
communications software comes with a number of pre-defined modem
settings to make this easier.
To specify the type of modem you use:
1. Open the Control panel on the Desktop screen and open the Modems
section.
2. Tap in the Current modem box or press Tab to see the list of pre-defined
modems. Ericsson Infrared Modem is the default.
• Use the New button if the list does not include a modem compatible
with your own, then enter the settings you use.
• Use the Edit button to change any of the modem settings. To change
the modem speed, use the Port page. To change the loudspeaker
volume, use the Options page.
3. Select the modem you use, or a modem from the list which you know is
compatible with your own. Select OK.
Setting the location you dial from
When you connect to the Internet using the MC 218 communications
software, your MC 218 instructs the modem to dial for you. You need
therefore to specify the location you are dialling from, so that your MC 218
can automatically adjust the number, e.g. by adding a 9 to get an outside line if
you are dialling from an office telephone system. This automatic adjustment is
known as smart dialling.
To set the location you dial from:
1. Open the Dialling section of the Control panel on the Desktop screen.
2. In the Current location line on the Location page, select the location which
sounds most like the one you are dialling from. Mobile is the default. The
pre-defined locations have the following settings:
