Modem
With this function, if the telephone that is connected to the modem rings in the
standby mode, the power of the computer automatically switches ON.
This function is convenient when using automatic information receiving applications
such as a FAX application.
When using this function, it is necessary to run a software application able to main-
tain the condition to receive telephone calls and to return the computer to the origi-
nal condition after a call.
To use this function:
1 Windows 2000
Select [Device Manager] in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [System] -
[Hardware].
Windows XP
Select [Device Manager] in [start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Mainte-
nance] - [System] - [Hardware].
2 Select the modem you are using from [Modems].
3 Select [Power Management], add the check mark for [Allow this device to bring
the computer out of standby], then select [OK].
This function does not work when the computer is off or is in hibernation
mode.
When using this function, it is recommended that the AC adaptor be con-
nected to the computer.
After operations are resumed from standby status, the screen remains dark.
The former screen display will be restored when the keyboard or touch pad is
touched.
The computer cannot resume if a telephone is connected to the line of a
modem (e.g., a PC Card modem) other than the internal modem.
Concerning the setting for [System standby]*, roughly consider the communi-
cation time and then set [System standby].
There may be cases where the computer enters the standby mode after the
time set for [System standby] elapses even during communications, and cuts
off the communications. If [Never] is set, the computer will not enter the standby
mode during communications, but once the computer resumes, the power of
the computer will remain on while the user is absent.
* Windows 2000 : In [Control Panel] - [Power Options] - [Power Schemes]
Windows XP : In [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Op-
tions] - [Power Schemes]
When the Ring Resume function is being used, some time elapses before a
connection is established (equal to the time for the computer to resume). To
allow the computer to resume, set the “call” to a larger value than a typical
telephone call.
If it is not possible for the sending side to set a long “call”, set the “number of
rings until answer” (with the software application that is able to maintain the
condition to receive telephone calls) to a small value.
