modem. You may want to lower the speed if you are having difficulty
connecting.

…just dial the number I type?
You can set the MC 218 communications software to simply dial the number
you type in the Dialling section of the Control panel - without adding any of
the dial out codes or chargecard information you might have set up.
To set up your MC 218 to dial a number:
1. Open the Internet section of the Control panel on the Desktop screen.
2. With the Internet service you use selected, tap the Edit button.
3. Remove the tick from the Use ‘smart’ dialling box on the Service page.
4. Enter the phone number exactly as you want it to be dialled in the Standard
phone number line.
Note! Turning smart dialling off means that your MC 218 will only dial phone
numbers exactly as you enter them: it will not add any dial out codes or
chargecard information, and it will not remove the area and country codes
even if the number you are dialling is in your local area.
Note! Turning smart dialling off does not make the MC 218 ignore all
location settings, however. If you have set up alternative access numbers for
the different locations you dial from (using the Other phone numbers line of
this dialog), your machine will still dial the access number corresponding to
your current location, but will not add or remove any information to or from
the numbers you type.
…use a call back service?
You can set up the MC 218 communications software to use a call back
service, where the server you log into calls you back on a specified number.
You may need to use this for dialling into a work network, e.g. for security
reasons.
To set your MC 218 to use call back:
1. Open the Internet section of the Control panel on the Desktop screen.
2. Select the Internet service you want to set up the call back details for.
Select Edit.
3. On the Advanced page, put a tick in the Use call back box, then either:
• Leave the Call back behaviour line as Use server number. Do this if the
server you are dialling to knows the number to call you back on. Or
• Change the Call back behaviour line to Use number below, then enter
the number you want the server to call you back on in the Call back
number line.
