79 Setting Up the Internet and Message Programs
• Faxback delay: Enter the number of seconds that you want the modem
to wait after dialling a faxback number before it expects the fax to be
sent.
Note! The standard settings on the Modem page are designed to work with
most setups, so you may want to leave them as they are.
Setting up to send SMS messages
If you are using a mobile phone supported by your MC 218 communications
software, and you have an account with a phone network which supports
SMS, you can use the Message program to send SMS messages.
The Message program will attempt to retrieve the correct SMS settings from
your phone.
To set up to send an SMS:
1. Ensure that the infrared port is active on your phone (your phone manual
will tell you how to do this) and that the infrared ports of your phone and
your MC 218 are aligned.
2. Open the Message program, select Account settings SMS on the Tools
menu.
3. Select the type of phone you are using to send messages in the Mobile
phone line.
4. Tap on the Advanced page and select the Edit service centre address line.
5. If the Service centre address dialog is empty, you will have to enter the
address manually. To do this, read the address from your phone (your
phone manual will tell you how to do this) and type the number in. Your
operator can also provide you with the service centre address. Select OK.
Advanced SMS settings
The SMS settings dialog provides some further optional controls for sending
SMS messages. These are on the Advanced page, and are as follows:
• Character set: if you need to use a different character set, tap the Character
set line and select the character set you require.
• Messages remain valid for: this setting determines the period that the
network will attempt to re-send the message for if the phone you are
sending the message to cannot be reached.
• Edit service centre address: if you want to change the number of the SMS
service centre you use, press this button, making sure your phone and
MC 218 are ready to communicate with each other (the service centre
address is retrieved from the phone).
Testing your connection in the Internet program
Once you have followed the above steps to configure the Control panel, you
can test your connection to your Internet service provider using the internet.
To test your connection:
1. Tap on the Internet program icon.
2. Select Open web page on the File menu and type the address of any
World Wide Web page, e.g. ‘http://mobile.ericsson.com/mobileinternet’.
