Solving Travel Connection Problems
If you experience connection problems while using the modem
outside your home country, the following suggestions may help:
■ Check the telephone line type
The modem requires an analog, not a digital, telephone line.
A line described as a PBX line is usually a digital line. A
telephone line described as a data line, fax machine line,
modem line, or standard telephone line is probably an
analog line.
■ Check the tone or pulse dialing settings
Dial a few digits on the telephone and listen for clicks
(pulses) or tones. Then:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet
Connections > Phone and Modem Options > Dialing
Rules tab.
2. Select your location and then select Edit.
3. Select either Tone or Pulse, depending on what you heard
on the line.
4. Select OK > OK.
