PIPEX Dial modem configuration


Step2: Modem configuration

The first time you install Dial you need to set a number of configuration options:

Dial Prefix - needed if you are calling through a PABX and you need to dial a digit, for example a 9, to obtain an outside line. For home use you should leave this blank.

Tone - select this as the default. If the modem does not seem to dial the number correctly, switch to pulse dialling.

Pulse - if your line is connected to an old (non-digital) exchange, select this option from the menu.

Modem Type - select your modem manufacturer and type from the available list. If yours is not listed then select Hayes Compatible (9600 baud +).

Com Port - select the Com Port you have connected your modem to. (If you are unsure about this then consult your PC user guide.)

Speed - select from the choices available. If your modem speed is not supported, then select the next highest modem speed rather than the next slower speed, as your modem can automatically decrease it's speed, but not increase it. If you are unable to connect, try selecting a lower speed.

Once you have entered all the user details you can connect to the Dial service.
