The modem includes protective circuitry against the digital lines which may produce a beep or a series of beeps if it detects excess current. Understanding How the Modem Works The modem serves two major functions: s The data communications function allows your computer to send information to and receive information from an online service, a host mainframe computer that provides electronic mail, and even other personal computers. s The facsimile function allows your computer to both send and receive text and images from facsimile (fax) machines or other computers. 8-2 Using the Internal Modem After setting up your software, you are ready to start using your modem. In most cases, if you are using communications and fax software, the modem will be controlled by the software and you will not need to use the AT command set. Simply select the internal modem as the preferred communication device in your application. NOTE: The maximum connection speed on a call is determined by the speed of the slowest modem on the connection. Your modem will automatically negotiate the fastest possible speed with the remote modem. Changing the Country Selection The internal modem is configured to meet operating approval in the country where you purchased your computer. If the modem is used in other countries during travel, the country selection setting for the modem needs to change to meet the telecommunications regulations for that country. The Country Select Application (CSA) lists all of the countries for which the modem contains configuration information. To confirm that the modem has been approved for use by the telecommunications agency in the desired country, check the approvals label on the bottom of the computer. Or, for the most up-to-date information, refer to the Compaq Internet website at www. compaq. com. [. . . ] De maximale aansluitfactor van een lijn is 5.
