1 | Introduction

The Socket 56K Modem Card gives you the freedom of high speed Internet access, email, and faxing from any analog phone line. It plugs directly into your Pocket PC, notebook or tablet PC and provides a durable physical connection for data communication. Plus, it features V.92 technology to provide the following advanced modem options.

• Quick Connect — The modem saves information the first time it

dials into a network, so future connections to the same network are faster.

• Modem-on-Hold — This feature allows you to accept incoming

phone calls without losing your data connection. Caller ID is also supported, so you’ll know who’s calling.

Cellular coverage isn’t ubiquitous, and most hotels don’t have Wi-Fi, but virtually every place you go will have telephone access. The 56K Modem Card is your most reliable option for Internet access from you Pocket PC, notebook or tablet PC. Plus, the 56K Modem Card features an exclusive Battery Friendly® design, using only 13 mA in idle mode, maximizing the battery life of your mobile computer.

No software installation is necessary for notebook PCs, tablet PCs, and most Pocket PCs.

If using a Pocket PC or other Windows CE device, check to see if it has built-in modem drivers.

About the Software

Socket Mobile developed software expressly for Windows Mobile to simplify and enhance your connection experience.

Follow the Connection Setup wizard to quickly and easily set up a dial-up connection to your Internet Service Provider or office network. The wizard provides a simple alternative to the confusing connection software built into Pocket PCs.

Modem Utilities software allows you to take advantage of the modem’s v.92 features, including Quick Connect and Modem-on-Hold. You can also use Modem Utilities to configure the modem for different country codes and to adjust the volume of the modem’s internal speaker.

About V.92 Modem-on-Hold

Modem-on-Hold (V.92 MoH) is a modem specification that allows you to have both data and voice service on the same line, although not simultaneously. Many households use the same phone line for both voice calls and data (Internet), and with Modem-on-Hold enabled, users can receive or initiate phone calls without losing an Internet connection.

Your V.92 ISP defines the “hold” time, which typically ranges from 10 seconds to six minutes. (If you have three-way calling, you can put the modem on hold indefinitely.) With Caller ID service from your local phone company, incoming calls will be identified upon arrival. You can choose to accept or ignore the call. When a modem is put on hold, a data connection between the modem and ISP is suspended, so you can accept or initiate a call. When you hang up the phone, you can resume the Internet connection.

In order to use Modem-on-Hold, your ISP must support V.92 MoH. Some ISPs may charge fees for the service, based on the number of minutes on hold. Additionally, you must have Call Waiting service from your local phone company. If you want to use caller identification, you must also have Type 2 Caller ID service, which can identify calls when the phone is off-hook, from your local phone company.

About V.92 Quick Connect

Quick Connect is a V.92 modem specification that reduces the time needed to establish a connection via faster handshaking. Handshaking (which makes all the noise you hear while dialing in) typically takes 25-27 seconds, but with Quick Connect, lasts only about half as long.

When enabled with Quick Connect, the 56K Modem Card will store data about the last connection — or in other words, “train” itself for the last phone line used. While dialing into a network, the 56K Modem Card will compare the phone line characteristics with the stored data, and if a match is found, the handshake starts using previous settings. Quick Connect is convenient if you plan to repeatedly use this product with the same phone line, (e.g., the phone line in your hotel room).

IMPORTANT! If you plan to use your modem in different locations, Socket recommends that you disable Connect but use the modem in different locations, the connection may take twice as long to establish because it searches for the previous line characteristics before trying to connect to the new line.
