Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the following:
• Make sure that you have the required hardware and software
components.
Note! You must have an Ericsson Connectivity Kit, which includes a serial
interface cable, to connect your Ericsson mobile phone to your
computer. The kit also includes a compact disc with the software
required to install your phone as a modem on your computer.
• Confirm that your mobile service provider supports digital data
services in your planned usage area.
• Verify that you have the necessary subscription.
Note! The availability of digital mobile voice service does not necessarily
imply that your mobile service operator supports digital data
operation.

To operate properly with the modem in your Ericsson mobile phone,
make sure that your computer has the following hardware and
software:
• A functional serial port
• An operating system that supports data access software, such as
Windows 95 or Windows 98
• Appropriate fax (class 2.0), Internet access, or file transfer
software
Note! Class “2.0” is different from Class “2”.

Successful first-time setup of your phone and computer for data
operation involves the following steps:
1 Connect Your Computer to Your Phone
Your Ericsson Connectivity Kit contains a serial interface cable.
The cable has a plug on one end that matches the receptacle on
the bottom of your Ericsson mobile phone. The other end of the
cable has a 9-pin female connector that matches the standard 9-
pin serial interface port connector. Connect one end of the cable
to your Ericsson mobile phone and the other end to the serial port
on your computer.
Note! If you are trying to connect to a 25-pin serial interface port on
your computer, you will need an adapter. You can purchase a 25-
pin serial interface port adapter at most computer supply stores.
2 Install Your Modem Control Software (driver)
The modem control software (driver) that you need to use your
Ericsson mobile phone is available on the compact disc included
in your Ericsson Connectivity Kit. Refer to the Installing Your
Modem Driver From Your Compact Disc section at the end of
this chapter for help with installing drivers for some operating
systems. When the appropriate driver is loaded, refer to the sections
on making and receiving data and fax calls later in this chapter.
