Configure the phone
Each phone is supplied with manufacturer’s documentation
that explains how to configure a phone for use as a modem
(data device). Using this documentation set up the phone’s
modem settings by navigating through the phone menu options
and entering the modem interface settings.
Add a modem connection to the computer
Instructions for adding a modem connection to the computer
and configuring it are included with the phone’s
documentation. Follow the instructions explicitly.
NOTE
In the dialog box that prompts “Do you want Windows to detect your
modem?” be sure to check the “Don’t detect my modem; I will select it
from a list” check box option. You will also be prompted to select a COM
port on which to install the modem. For this prompt, select the COM port to
which the data device is connected.
