Internet Calls
Internet calls are placed to Internet Service Providers (ISP) when you
want to use e-mail or access websites on the World Wide Web. To
make Internet calls, you must have an account with an ISP and a
properly configured Internet access program (browser) running on
your computer. When your software is installed and set up to dial
your ISP, calls can be made using the normal dialing procedure.
Once a connection to your ISP is established, it will remain in place
until you disconnect or until it is automatically disconnected due to
the degradation of signal quality or due to inactivity.
Note! Throughout this chapter, references to data/fax/internet will be
referred to as simply data.
Quick Net Connect
RˆvpxÃIr‡Ã8‚rp‡Ãestablishes an Internet connection quickly, eas-
ily, and economically. The digital connection bypasses the typically-
used analog modems and connects to the Internet in a matter of sec-
onds. Contact your service provider for more information.
Before You Start
Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the following:
• You must have a serial interface cable to connect your Ericsson
mobile phone to your computer. The cable is available in the Eric-
sson DA 18 Phone Book Manager Accessory Kit or as a separate
accessory. You can purchase Ericsson accessories at http://
www.ericsson.com/phones.
• Confirm that your mobile service provider supports digital data
services in your planned usage area. If digital data service is not
available, you can purchase an analog modem card that is compat-
ible with your Ericsson mobile phone and use data functions on
the available analog system.
• 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 opera-
tion.
Setting Up Your Computer
To operate properly with the modem in your Ericsson mobile phone,
make sure that your computer has the following hardware and soft-
ware:
• 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”.
