Independent Mode
How Does It Work?
When your PC is on and PhoneTools is running, your MessageSaver modem oper-
ates like a standard modem. However, your MessageSaver can also operate in
Independent mode. In Independent mode the MessageSaver can receive and store in
its flash memory incoming faxes and voice messages when PhoneTools is not run-
ning, and even when the PC is turned off.
Configuring and Controlling Independent Mode Operation
Setting up and monitoring the modem’s Independent mode is performed through
two dialog boxes: the Independent Mode Configuration dialog box, which is used
to configure Independent mode, and the Independent Mode Control dialog box,
which is used to operate Independent mode functions.
To access the Independent Mode Configuration dialog box, click to open
the menu list, click Configuration, and then click Independent Mode Configura-
tion
. Alternately, click to open the Configuration menu, and then click
Independent Mode Configuration .
Before using Independent mode for the first time, you must download a greeting
message to the modem.
By default, Independent mode is automatically enabled when you exit PhoneTools.
This can be changed in the Independent Mode Configuration dialog box, as
described below.
