User’s Manual

Pursuant to FCC CFR 47, Part 68:

When you are ready to install or use the modem, call your local telephone company and give them the following information:

nThe telephone number of the line to which you will connect the modem.

nThe registration number that is located on the device LSI US : AGSMD01BDELPHI

MOTOROLA US: S56MD01B13054

The FCC registration number of the modem will be found on either the device which is to be installed, or, if already installed, on the bottom of the computer outside of the main system label.

nThe Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the modem, which can vary. For the REN of your modem, refer to your modem’s label.

The modem connects to the telephone line by means of a standard jack called the USOC RJ11C.

Type of service

Your modem is designed to be used on standard-device telephone lines. Connection to telephone company-provided coin service (central office implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs.

If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the telephone company will provide this information upon request.

Telephone company procedures

The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, operations, or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice in writing to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.

If problems arise

If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection.

If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever needed on your modem, they should be performed by TOSHIBA Corporation or an authorized representative of TOSHIBA Corporation.

User’s Manual

xiii

Disconnection

If you should ever decide to permanently disconnect your modem from its present line, call the telephone company and let them know of this change.

Fax branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business, other entity or individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity or individual. In order to program this information into your fax modem, you should complete the setup of your fax software before sending messages.

nUse only No.26AWG or larger UL listed or CSA certified

telecommunication line cord.

Instructions for IC CS-03 certified equipment

1.NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection.

The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

xiv

User’s Manual

2.The user manual of analog equipment must contain the equipment’s Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) and an explanation notice similar to the following: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the modem, which can vary. For the REN of your modem, refer to your computer’s user’s manual.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

3.The standard connecting arrangement (telephone jack type) for this equipment is jack type(s): USOC RJ11C

The IC registration number of the modem is shown below:

LSI Canada: 4005B-DELPHI

MOTOROLA Canada: 109AH-ML3054

Notes for Users in Australia and New Zealand

Modem warning notice for Australia

Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid Austel permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to ensure compliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection is set to Australia. The use of other country/region setting while the modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in you modem being operated in a noncompliant manner. To verify that the country/region is correctly set, enter the command ATI9 which displays the currently active setting.

To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following command sequence:

AT+GCI=09

Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. Consequently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment and the Telecoms Act 1991 prescribes a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of non-permitted equipment.

Notes for use of this device in New Zealand

nThe grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all operating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which this modem is capable of operating depend on a specific network implementation which is only one of many ways of delivering high quality voice telephony to customers. Failure to operate should not be reported as a fault to Telecom.

User’s Manual

xv

n In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work properly if:

a/

it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call; and

b/

the application using the modem is compatible with the application at the

 

other end of the call such as accessing the Internet requires suitable

 

software in addition to a modem.

nThis equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom customers.

nSome parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s PTC Specifications are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this modem. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications:

a/

There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number

 

within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation;

b/

The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds

 

between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next; and

c/

Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5 seconds

 

apart.

nImmediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.

nThe correct settings for use with this modem in New Zealand are as follows: ATB0 (CCITT operation)

AT&G2 (1800 Hz guard tone)

AT&P1 (Decadic dialling make-break ratio = 33%/67%) ATS0=0 (not auto answer)

ATS10=less than 150 (loss of carrier to hang up delay, factory default of 15 recommended)

ATS11=90 (DTMF dialling on/off duration=90 ms)

ATX2 (Dial tone detect, but not (U.S.A.) call progress detect)

nWhen used in the Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with a value of 3 or 4. This ensures:

n a person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before the modem answers. This confirms that the call has been successfully switched through the network.

n caller identification information (which occurs between the first and second ring cadences) is not destroyed.

nThe preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some reason you must use decadic dialing, your communications program must be set up to record numbers using the following translation table as this modem does not implement the New Zealand “Reverse Dialing” standard.

Number to be dialed: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

xvi

User’s Manual

Number to program into computer: 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should be entered normally.

nThe transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because of this there may be circumstances where the performance is less than optimal. Before reporting such occurrences as faults, please check the line with

a standard Telepermitted telephone, and only report a fault if the phone performance is impaired.

nIt is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the Telecom line during electrical storms.

nWhen relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line connection before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.

nThis equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert cadences and services such as FaxAbility.

EnergyStar® Program

Your computer model may be Energy Star® Compliant.

If the model you purchased is compliant, it is labeled with the ENERGY STAR logo on the computer and the following information applies. TOSHIBA. is a partner in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star

Program and has designed this computer to meet the latest

Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency. Your computer ships with the power management options preset to a

configuration that will provide the most stable operating environment and optimum system performance for both AC power and battery modes.

To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-power Sleep Mode which shuts down the system and display within 15 minutes of inactivity in AC power mode. We recommend that you leave this and other energy saving features active, so that your computer will operate at its maximum energy efficiency. You can wake the computer from Sleep Mode by pressing the power button.

According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new ENERGY STAR specifications will use between 20% and 50% less energy depending on how it is used. If all

U.S. household and businesses replaced old computers with new ENERGY STAR qualified models, we would save more than $1.8 billion in energy costs over the next five years and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to more than 2.7 million cars.

If every computer purchased by businesses next year met the new ENERGY

STAR requirements, businesses would save more than $210 million over the lifetime of those models. That is equivalent to lighting 120 million square feet of U.S. commercial building space each year.

Visit http://www.energystar.gov or http://www.energystar.gov/power management for more information regarding the ENERGY STAR Program.
