Checking the Modem Settings
Normally, when you have connected the camera to the communication
equipment, you can use the communication and Internet functions straightaway
as the various items have already been set on the most commonly used
settings at the time of shipping from the factory. However, depending on the
type of communication card used, communication may not proceed smoothly
with the settings as they are. You should therefore check the modem settings
when inserting the communication card for the first time.
Important
• Provided that you do not change the type of communication card used,
Note
there is no need to check the settings each time you use the
communication function.
■ Modem Settings
Check the following 3 items. If the communication and Internet functions do not
operate smoothly, change the settings to suit the type of communication card used.
● Card Type
The type of communication card inserted (manufacturer and type) is displayed.
This field will be blank if a communication card is not inserted in position.
• If a communication card of a type not recommended by Ricoh is used,
Note
it will not work. Be sure to use a card of the type recommended by
Ricoh. → The separate list of “Compatible Products”
● Tone Confirmation
When using the dial-up function, you need to set whether or not to wait for the
dialing tone. Select either [AFTER TONE] or [WITHOUT TONE]. The factory
default setting is [WITHOUT TONE].
If you are using an ordinary telephone line (analog line), select [AFTER TONE],
and if you are using an ISDN or mobile phone, select [WITHOUT TONE].
• AFTER TONE: waits for the dial tone before dialing
• WITHOUT TONE: does not wait for the dial tone before dialing
• The dial tone refers to the sound you hear when you lift the telephone
Note
receiver. The tone indicates that the telephone is working normally.
When using the dial-up function, you can check that the modem is
working normally by listening for the dial tone.
