Travel Connection Checklist
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 telephone line
described as a data line, fax machine line, modem line, or
standard telephone line, is probably an analog line.
■
Check for pulse or tone dialing—Dial a few digits on the
telephone and listen for clicks (pulses) or tones. Then set your
communication software to the corresponding dialing mode
(pulse or tone).
■
Check the telephone number you are dialing and the
response of the remote modem—Dial the telephone number
on the telephone, wait for the remote modem to answer, then
hang up.
