Using an Internal Modem

Your notebook has an internal modem, an RJ-11 telephone jack,

preinstalled modem drivers, and a modem cable.

Connecting the Modem Cable

Using the RJ-11 Cable

The modem cable may have noise suppression circuitry that

prevents interference with TV and radio reception. The modem

cable must be connected to an analog telephone line.

Ä^{CAUTION: Jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble analog}

telephone jacks, but are not compatible with the modem.

the circuitry end of the cable toward the notebook.

2. Plug the cable into the RJ-11 telephone jack 2 on the

notebook.

Å^{WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to}

the equipment, do not plug a telephone cable into the RJ-45 jack.

Using an Internal Modem

Using a Country-Specific Modem Cable

Adapter

Software for the internal modem supports multiple countries, but

telephone jacks vary by country. To use the modem and the RJ-11

cable outside the country in which you purchased the notebook,

you must obtain a country-specific modem adapter and define

your location in Dialing Properties.

To connect the modem to an analog telephone line that does not

have an RJ-11 telephone jack:

1. If the modem cable has noise suppression circuitry 1, orient

the circuitry end of the cable toward the notebook.

2. Plug the modem cable into the RJ-11 telephone jack 2 on the

notebook.

3. Plug the modem cable 3 into the country-specific modem

adapter.

4. Plug the country-specific modem adapter 4 into the

telephone jack.

Using an Internal Modem

Viewing the Current Country Selection

To see the current country setting for your modem, follow

these steps:

Windows 2000 Professional:

1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.

Adding New Locations When Traveling

The internal modem is configured to meet only the operating

standards in the country where you purchased the notebook.

When traveling internationally, you can add new location

configurations that comply with standards in other countries.

Ä^{CAUTION: Do not delete your current modem country settings. To}

enable modem use in other countries while preserving your home

country configuration, add a new configuration for each location in

which you will use the modem.

The drop-down lists described below may include countries not

supported by the modem. Unless you select a supported country,

the country selection will default to USA or UK.

Ä^{CAUTION: Selecting a country other than the one in which it is located}

may cause your modem to be configured in a way that violates the

telecommunications regulations/laws of that country. In addition, your

modem may not function properly if the correct country selection is not

made.

Solving Travel Connection Problems

If you experience connection problems while using the modem

outside your home country, the following suggestions may help:

■

Check the telephone line type

The modem requires an analog, not a digital, telephone line.

A line described as a PBX line is usually a digital line. A

telephone line described as a data line, fax machine line,

modem line, or standard telephone line is probably an

analog line.

■

Check for pulse or tone dialing

Dial a few digits on the telephone and listen for clicks

(pulses) or tones. Then select:

Modem and Networking

Connecting to a Network

Your notebook has an RJ-45 network jack, an internal NIC

(network interface card), preinstalled network drivers, and may

have a network cable.

Because networking requires connection to domains, networking

is not supported in Windows XP Home Edition.

✎

If your notebook is connected to a network, confer with your

network administrator before changing network settings.
