Data, Fax, and Internet Calls 57

Note! Throughout this chapter, references to data/fax/internet will be

referred to as simply data.

Before You Start

Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the following:

• Make sure that you have the required hardware and software

components.

Note! You must have an Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager Acces-

sory Kit, which includes a serial interface cable, to connect your

Ericsson mobile phone to your computer. The kit also includes a

compact disc with the software required to install your phone as a

modem on your computer.

• 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

compatible 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 oper-

ation.

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

software:

• 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”.

Initial Setup

Successful first-time setup of your phone and computer for data

operation involves the following steps:

1 Connect Your Computer to Your Phone

Your Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager Accessory Kit con-

tains a serial interface cable. The cable has a plug on one end that

matches the receptacle on the bottom of your Ericsson mobile

phone. The other end of the cable has a 9-pin female connector

that matches the standard 9-pin serial interface port connector.

Connect one end of the cable to your Ericsson mobile phone and

the other end to the serial port on your computer.
