If your connection attempt times out before the Omnia can answer, you can increase the value (in seconds) of
the “

” setting. This value sets the amount of time the software will wait for the carrie
from the Omnia’s modem before timing out and hanging up the computer’s modem.
Omnia Remote Control supports a wide variety of Hayes command set compatible modems. If you have
difficulty using your modem, you may call Omnia Customer Support for assistance,
information about your modem as possible before doing so.
On the Omnia Side...
Before use, ensure that the Omni
PCMCIA modem card is fully inserted into the lower PC Card slot
ctor to extend the modular telephone

orts nearly every Hayes command set compatible modem available. Please note that in order to

on the back of the Omnia. Press on the modem card's “XJACK” conne
jack. Using a standard RJ-11cable, connect your telephone line to the Omnia modem. Make a note of the
telephone number corresponding to this line, as you will need it later when you configure the Omnia Remote.
Note:
The modem card can only be safely installed and removed when the Omnia's power is
off
. Only the
PCMCIA modem card supplied by Telos Omnia has been tested and approved by Telos Omnia. We cann
ensure correct operation of any other modem card with the Omnia-3, nor can we provide support for such non-
approved cards.
Remote Control Using a External Hayes Compatible Modem
The Omnia supp
support the widest possible variety of externally connected serial devices t
support hardware or software handshaking. This is of no concern, and we are aware of no instances where this
has prevented an externally connected modem from operating properly. The externally connected modem will
need to auto-detect one of the Omnia's three rear panel serial port's baud rates (9,600, 19200, and 57,600).
Because the Omnia and the modem are both DCE devices, you will need to use a crossover (null modem) cable
between them.
