PPK Setup Software Restrictions
If you use software that uses a phone line
❑
The computer may not be able to disconnect the phone line due to
communication and server conditions.
❑ Be sure to monitor the status of the software when running PPK
Setup, and manually disconnect the phone line if you notice a
malfunction. Furthermore, when using the timer to start the software,
it is advised that you set the computer to shut down or enter system
standby mode after a certain length of time. This allows the computer
to disconnect the phone line if the computer fails to disconnect the
line normally.
If you are using the timer to download e-mail automatically
It is advisable to set up your e-mail software to redial automatically if it
does not connect the first time. It is also advisable to set the e-mail
software to disconnect the phone line automatically when all mail has
been downloaded.
