Using the Modem Features

The ThinkPad modem enables you to send or receive data, faxes, and voice over the telephone line. This modem uses a digital signal processor (DSP) and its software can be upgraded, allowing great

flexibility. It enables you to	enhance the modem capability to su
ITU-T V.90 protocols with data	rates		of	56 Kbps.
You can use the ThinkPad modem only on a public-switched
telephone network (PSTN). You cannot use a private branch
exchange (PBX) or some other type		of	digital		telephone		extension
line. If you connect the modem	to	a	line	other than		PSTN,	an	error
message appears, preventing you	from using the line. If						you	are no
sure which kind of phone line	you	are using,			contact	your telephon
company.

Attention

for

Use

Overseas

In

many

countries,

you cannot use the ThinkPad

modem

function until IBM has received approval from

the proper

authorities.

Your

ThinkPad

modem

is

a

worldwide

modem

and

can

be

used

in any country where Postal Telegraph

and

Telephone

(PTT)

type

approval

has

been

obtained. If

the

country

you

want is not on the Country Selection listing, see

http://www.ibm.com/thinkpad

on the Internet, and download

the

newest

Country

Selection list.

If

you are a non-U.S. user, run the Country Selection

program

in

theThinkPad

Modem

folder after

you

complete

the ThinkPad modem installation. The “Country Selection”

window

enables

you

to

change

the

country

name

to

that

of

For more

information on the use of the internal modem in a

specific country, contact the IBM customer support center in th

country. You can look up the phone number by referring to the

international service information booklet that came with your

computer.

DANGER

To avoid shock hazard, do not connect the

cable to or

disconnect the cable from the telephone outlet

on the wall duri

electrical

Using the 56-Kbps Modem

To take advantage of your modem's 56-Kbps U.S. Robotics 56k Technology**, you must first make sure that your Internet service provider (ISP) supports a 56-Kbps modem protocol.

1 Contact

your

ISP

and

determine

which

56-Kbps

modem

protocol

it

uses.

2 Determine which 56-Kbps modem protocol your modem

supports. To view your modem's supported protocol, do the

following:

a) Click

onStart ,

move

the

cursorProgramsto ,

and

then

click

onThinkPad

Modem

.

b) Choose Options

from the “Modem Status” window; then

chooseSettings .

The available transfer speeds are displayed. The 56-Kbps

protocol your modem supports is listed in parentheses

following the 56-Kbps

transfer

setting. Be

sure

to

select

the

56-Kbps

transfer setting to use it.

Your

modem

and

your

ISP

must

support

the

same

56-Kbps

protocol,

or your maximum connection speed is limited to V.34 technology.

Significantly

higher

Internet modem connection speeds up

to 56

Kbps require all-digital

transmission connections from your ISP to the

line

card

in

the

central

office to

which your phone line is conne

|

The

higher

speeds

at

which this modem is capable of operating o

|

specific

network

implementation is only one of many ways to deliver

|

high-quality

voice

telephony to customers. Failure of the modem to

|

operate

at

high

speed

should

not

be reported as a fault, unless

|

ordinary

voice

telephone

calls

are

substandard.

In the U.S., current FCC regulations limit the maximum speed for

downstream communication to 56 Kbps. Even though your modem

contains 56-Kbps technology, the connect rate in the receive

direction

might

be

significantly

less

than

56

Kbps.

14 IBM ThinkPad 600E Online Book

Currently, the 56-Kbps capability

is

in

the

receive

direction

only

the

ISP

to

your

local

modem). The

transmit

or

send

direction

(from

your

local modem

to

the

ISP)

uses

V.34

technology.

Notes:

1. 56-Kbps

transfer

rates

are not

available

in all locations or countries.

must check

with

your

ISP

to

determine

if

your

area

is capable

of

56-Kbps transfer rates.

2. Your

modem

can

be

upgraded

to

support

the 56-Kbps standard protocol

(ITU-T V.90). For more information on upgrading, refer to
