Getting Started with
the Data Connectivity Kit
Attaching the Data Cable
Before you install the fax/modem software on your computer,
it is a good idea to attach the cable to the computer and phone.
To indicate the cable is attached on both ends, your phone will
beep once.
Keep in mind: To save power, some laptops deactivate unused
serial ports. If this happens, open an application that uses the
serial port, like a fax or dial-up application, and your computer
will automatically activate the port.
Installing the Software
To begin making wireless data calls, you will need to install
the software from the CD-ROM that came with the Data
Connectivity Kit. The software is designed to take you through
the installation process step by step.
