Wake Macintosh on ring

Some PowerBook models have a special feature, Wake Macintosh on ring,
that will automatically wake up your Macintosh from system sleep to respond
to an incoming call. This allows you to conserve battery power while waiting
to receive a fax or a file. (See the Macintosh PowerBook user's guide for your
model for more information on system sleep.)

Speaker pop-up menu

The Speaker pop-up menu allows you to choose from three different settings.

Menu setting

Meaning

Use Application Settings

Allows you to control the speaker volume from the application
setting and Sound control panel.

Modem Sound Always Off

Turns the speaker off for applications that use the modem.
Same as setting ATM=0 for all modem applications.

Modem Sound On until Carrier

Leaves the speaker on until the carrier is established. Same as
setting ATM=1 for all modem applications.

Selecting the serial port

If you use a non-compatible CTB application, you should leave the Modem
Serial Port set to Use Express Modem.

If you use a CTB compatible application, you can leave the Modem Serial
Port set to Use External Modem.

If you then want to use some other serial device on your Modem Port after
this, you will need to reselect Use External Modem.

To use AppleTalk Remote Access, you can leave the Modem Port set to Use
External Modem
. Use of AppleTalk Remote Access is described more fully in
Appendix C.
