When using this function, it is necessary to run a software application able to maintain the

a call. For further details, refer to the operating instructions provided with software
applications.
Enabling the Ring Resume Function
A
Select [Device Manager] in [start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and

Concerning the setting for [System standby]
• Roughly consider the communication time and then set [System standby]. There
may be cases where the computer enters the standby mode after the time set for
[System standby] elapses even during communications, and cuts off the
communications.
• If [Never] is set, the computer will not enter the standby mode during
communications, but once the computer resumes, the power of the computer will
remain on while the user is absent.
z
When the Ring Resume function is being used, some time elapses before a
connection is established (equal to the time for the computer to resume). To allow the
computer to resume, set the "Call" to a larger value than a typical telephone call. If it is
not possible for the sending side to set a long "Call", set the "Number of rings until
answer" (with the software application that is able to maintain the condition to receive
telephone calls) to a small value.
