Chapter 2:
Using the Faxmodem
If you have installed the fax and communication software
that came with your faxmodem, you probably do not need
to read this chapter. The software sets itself up automati-
cally and takes care of sending any necessary commands
to the faxmodem.
You may, however, want to read this chapter if you want
to learn some general facts about how software works with
your faxmodem or if you intend to use your new faxmodem
with other software.
This chapter explains how to get Internet access, and pro-
vides tips for setting up faxing and communications soft-
ware, sending AT commands to the faxmodem, and using
a video camera.
Accessing the Internet
To access the Internet and the World Wide Web, use an
online service such as America Online (AOL) or Compu-
Serve, or an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The best place
to start is your ZoomLink CD, which includes Internet
and online services for you to try.
Setting Up the Fax and Communications Software
Most software programs identify the modem automatically
and configure themselves for the correct operating set-
tings.
Note: If you want to continue using software that had
been set up for a different modem, you may need to
reinstall the software or change its settings to run
with your new faxmodem. See the documentation
or help files of your existing software.
If you run into difficulty configuring or reconfiguring your
software, it may be helpful to read the following section,
