About the Modem
Why is my modem connection slow?
Many factors influence modem connection speed:
Telephone line noise
Incompatibility with other telephone equipment such as fax machines or other modems
Internet Service Providers (ISP) connection capability may vary
If you think your modem is not connecting properly to other PC-based modems, fax machines, or your ISP, check the
following:
Contact your telephone company and ask them to verify that your telephone line is free from line noise.
If your problem is fax-related, check that there are no problems with the fax machine you are calling and that it is
compatible with fax modems.
For optimum performance, verify that your ISP point of presence (POP) telephone number is compliant with V.90
standards.
If you are having a problem connecting with your ISP, check that they are not experiencing technical problems.
Try connecting your modem through another telephone line, if available.
Why doesn't my modem work properly?
Your modem may be experiencing equipment or software conflicts. If your modem is not functioning properly, check the
following:
Check that the telephone line is plugged into the modem line jack.
Check that the telephone line is working properly. You can verify the line by plugging in an external device such as a
standard telephone or fax machine and listening for a dial tone.
Check that the access telephone number (POP) is correct.
All software applications that are preinstalled by Sony are compatible with your computer's modem. If you have
installed other software, contact the software publisher for information on how to configure the software in order to
recognize the modem.
If it appears that your modem is not functioning properly, check the device status.
