Modem
With this function, if the phone to the line connected to the internal modem rings in
the standby mode, the power of the computer automatically switches ON.
This function is convenient when using automatic information receiving applications
like a FAX application when not at home or not in the office.
When using this function, it is necessary to run a software application able to main-
tain the condition to receive telephone calls and to return the computer to the origi-
nal condition after a call.
Confirm that the check mark is added for [Allow this device to bring the com-
puter out of standby] in [Device Manager] - [Modem] - [Lucent Win Modem
(Combo)] - [Power Management].
The computer cannot resume if a phone is connected to the line of a modem
(e.g., a PC card modem) other than the internal modem.
Concerning the setting for [System standby] in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control
Panel] - [Power Options], roughly consider the communication time and then
set [System standby].
There may be cases where the computer enters the standby mode after the
time set for [System standby] elapses even during communications, and cuts
off the communications. If [Never] is set, the computer will not enter the standby
mode during communications, but once the computer resumes, the power of
the computer will remain ON while the user is absent.
When the internal Ring Resume function is being used, some time elapses
before a connection is established (equal to the time for the computer to re-
sume). To allow the computer to resume, set the “call” to a larger value than a
typical telephone call.
If it is not possible for the sending side to set a long “call”, set the “number of
rings until answer” (with the software application that is able to maintain the
condition to receive telephone calls) to a small value.
When the Ring Resume function is used, the display may not return automati-
cally.
