Using the modem control panel
The modem control panel serves as a central point for
controlling and monitoring modem functions. While most
communications programs allow you to set the same
functions as the control panel, control panel settings take
precedence over program settings. You may want to check
the settings in the control panel if a program does not
behave as intended.
Although your modem hardware has only one physical
connection to the phone line, the modem software can open
more than one logical connection—also called association—
for voice, fax, and data. The settings in the modem control
panel are therefore general and apply to all associations.
The Express Modem software can open associations for
voice, fax, and data. The Apple Serial Modem software can
open either associations for voice and fax or open an
association for data. A data association in Apple Serial
Modem software overrides fax and voice associations.
See also: “Incoming call management” in this chapter for
more information about how the modem software manages
incoming calls to the various communications programs
installed on your computer.
Note: Some of the settings described in this section may
not appear on your control panel, depending on your
computer model.
