MODEM SETUP OPTIONS
USING ONLY THE HAL MODEM
In this setup, the HAL Voice Portal will be used for both the telephony options and the Internet options. In
other words, HAL will use the HAL Voice Portal to answer calls and record voice mail messages, and it will
use it to connect to the Internet to download information.
Advantages
Only one PCI slot is being used, instead of two slots if two modems are being used (see page 2).
Disadvantages
HAL has control of the HAL Voice Portal so that it can answer the phone and record voice messages and
download information from the Internet. If you wish to browse the Internet, you must either connect to the
Internet through HAL or release the modem from HAL's control so that you can manually connect to the
Internet.
Installation
If the computer already contains a modem, remove it and install the HAL Internal PCI Voice Portal
following the instructions in this guide.
Computer Setup
In order for HAL to be able to download information from the Internet using the HAL Voice Portal, a Dial-
Up Networking (DUN) connection must be set up on the computer. This DUN connection will contain the
information that the modem will use to connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If a previous DUN
connection was set up on the computer for a previous modem, then you can modify it to use the HAL
Voice Portal that was just installed. If there was no previous DUN connection specified on the computer,
then you will need to set up one. Go to the Windows® online help guide for information on setting up a
Dial-Up Networking connection.
HAL Configuration
After HAL is installed, the
HAL Setup Wizard
will run. In the second “HAL Internet Services” screen,
select the "Phone Line Method" option, then click NEXT. In the next screen, select the DUN connection
that is set up to use this HAL Voice Portal. Click NEXT and continue through the rest of the
Setup
Wizard
. When it reaches the telephony section, it will ask if you wish to allow remote access of HAL and
have HAL act as an answering machine. If you respond with "yes" to either of these options, then HAL
will automatically search for and detect the HAL Voice Portal. Continue through the rest of the
HAL Setup
Wizard
.
