USING THE HAL MODEM WITH A LAN, DSL, CABLE MODEM, ETC.
In this setup, HAL will use the HAL Voice Portal for telephony features
– such as recording voice messages –
and will use the LAN, DSL, cable modem, etc., for connecting to the Internet.
Advantages
There's never a need to release the modem from HAL's control before connecting to the Internet, because
HAL won't be using the modem for retrieving Internet information.
Disadvantages
None.
Installation
Install the HAL Voice Portal following the instructions in this guide.
Computer Setup
No special setup is required, other than what's involved with installing the HAL Voice Portal and setting up
the computer to use the LAN, DSL, cable modem, etc. (Consult your Internet Service Provider for
information on setting up the computer to use the LAN, DSL, cable modem, etc.)
HAL Configuration
After HAL is installed, the
HAL Setup Wizard
will run. I
n the second “HAL Internet Services” screen,
select the "Use Dedicated/Automatic Connection (LAN, DSL, Cable, Other)" option, then 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
.
