Operating Basics
Region selection
Telecommunication regulations vary from one region to another, so you will
need to make sure the internal modem’s settings are correct for the region
in which it will be used.
To select a region, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Networking -> Modem
Region Select.
2. The Region Selection icon will appear in the Windows Taskbar.
3. Click the icon with the primary (left) mouse button to display a list of
regions that the modem supports, together with a sub-menu which
details telephony location information - a check mark will appear next to
the currently selected region and telephony location.
4. Select either a region from the region menu or a telephony location from
the sub-menu.
■ When you click a region it becomes the modem's default selection
for any new dialling locations that are created within the Windows
Control Panel (Phone and Modem Options).
■ When you select a telephony location, the corresponding region is
automatically selected and becomes the modem's default setting.
Properties menu
Click the icon with the secondary (right) mouse button in order to display a
Properties menu on the screen.
Setting
Within the Properties menu you are able to either enable or disable the
following settings:
AutoRun Mode
Allows you to configure whether the Modem Region Select utility starts
automatically whenever you start up the operating system.
Open the Dialing Properties dialog box after selecting region
Allows you to configure whether the dialing properties dialog box will be
displayed automatically after you have selected a region.
The built-in modem can be used only in specified countries and regions.
Using the modem in an area not specified for use may cause a system
failure. Check the specified areas carefully before using it.
If it is available, do not use the Country/Region Select function included as
part of the modem setup utility within the Control Panel - if you change the
country/region setting this way you may find that the change does not take
effect.
