Modem
The computer automatically resumes from standby when the telephone connected to the modem rings.
You will need software to keep the computer in idle state waiting for a phone call, and if you prefer, to turn the computer to
standby again afterward. For further information, refer to the instruction manual of the software application.
To enable this function

Click [start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [System] - [Hardware] -
[Device Manager] - [Modems], and double-click the internal modem.

Click [Power Management], add the check mark for [Allow this device to bring the com-
puter out of standby.], and click [OK].

uncompleted communication if you select [Never], but the computer does not return to standby after resuming by a phone
call.

Card modem.)

The computer needs some time to respond, so set the calling time longer than normal. If this is not possible on the
transmission side, reduce the number of rings before answering on the software that you are using to keep the com-
puter in idle waiting for the call.
