30 Wireless Modem Operation
Wireless Modem Operation
You can use your phone in Wireless Modem Operation when it is
powered on with the proper cable attached from your phone to your
computer. An Ericsson accessory kit may be required to use your
phone in Wireless Modem Operation. Your phone is in Wireless
Modem Operation when you see the following standby screen.
Your Ericsson mobile phone contains a modem similar to the
modems you use to connect your computer to your home or office
telephone service. Rather than connecting to standard telephone
lines, however, the modem in your mobile phone allows you to con-
nect your computer to the mobile telephone system. In places where
mobile network operators provide the necessary support, you can use
your mobile phone to send or receive faxes, upload or download data
files, or access the Internet.
This chapter will assist you with setting up your computer and
phone to handle data, fax, and Internet calls on the mobile network.
Note! If digital data/fax/Internet service is not available, you can purchase
an analog modem card that is compatible with your Ericsson mobile
phone and use data/fax functions on the available analog system.
Differences Between Data, Fax, and Internet
Calls
Your Ericsson mobile phone can handle data, fax, and Internet calls,
but each type of call requires corresponding software that must be
running on your computer.
Data Calls
Data calls are placed to exchange computer files between two com-
puters. While the data connection is in place, files can be transferred
between the connected computers, according to the capabilities of
the software in use. When a data call is made, the connection will
remain in place until it is closed by one of the computers involved.
To make or receive data calls with your Ericsson mobile phone, you
must have a properly configured communications program running
on your computer.
Fax Calls
Fax calls are placed to send fax messages. When a fax message has
been sent, your fax software or the originating fax machine will ter-
minate the call. To make or receive fax calls with your Ericsson
mobile phone, you must have a properly configured fax program
running on your computer.
