22 Quick Start and Reference Guide
Using Audio Features
In addition to data and faxing capabilities, your faxmo-
dem supports a full-featured single or multiple mailbox
voice mail system if you have a soundcard, microphone,
and a speaker or earphones. Through your software you
can also set up fax-back (sometimes called fax-on-
demand), and locally and remotely record and play back
messages. The communications software that comes with
your faxmodem, is capable of these features.
Other software that supports these features must be TAPI
compatible (TAPI stands for Telephony Application Pro-
gramming Interface) or must support IS-101 commands.
An example of TAPI-compatible software that supports
voice mail is Microsoft Phone™.
Using Video
Your faxmodem supports video applications through the
V.80 standard protocol so that it can be used for high-
quality modem-to-modem videoconferencing. It is com-
patible with H.324 point-to-point and H.323 Internet
video conferencing standards. To send videos, you also
need video capture capability, a camera, and video soft-
ware.
To include sound with your videos, you also need a 16-bit
full-duplex soundcard and a compatible microphone and
speakers or earphones.
Accessing the Internet
To access the Internet and the World Wide Web, use an
online service such as America Online (AOL), Compu-
Serve, or an Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISPs typically
supply or suggest the browser software needed to access
their service, along with complete setup information and
any other software you will need.
