Data. The Data LED flashes when the modem is transmitting/receiving data

Connecting to the Internet
To use the modem to access the Internet, you must establish a dial-up account with an Internet service
provider (ISP). To locate an ISP near you, refer to a local directory or computer publication. Ask your ISP
to give you the following information:
● User name (also called user ID)
● Password
● Access number (the number you call to connect to the server)
● Host name and domain name
● Domain Name Server (DNS) server address
If you use the Internet for e-mail and newsgroups, ask the ISP to also provide the following information:
● E-mail or POP mail address
● POP server address
● Mail or SMTP address
● News or NNT server address
Setting Up a Remote Node
Before connecting to the Internet, set up a remote-node client program on your computer to make the
connection. Most web browsers can automatically open this connection. For instructions on how to set
up this connection, consult your ISP or your operating system’s online help or printed documentation.
Many ISPs provide a program that installs and configures this connection automatically for you.
