Panasonic GD87 - Manual (Page 43)

Using the Internet and Faxing
You can join your GD87 and a PC together via an infrared
connection to access the Internet, and to send and receive
faxes. The following explains how to set up communication
between the GD87 and a PC. These instructions should be
used in conjunction with your Internet platform software and/or
your fax software.
Prerequisites
Faxing: contact your mobile phone network operator to
determine whether this feature is available to you.
Ensure that you have set up a dial up account with an Internet
Service Provider.
You will need the installation CD from your ISP, or your account
details (i.e. phone number, user name and password) to
configure Dial Up Networking within Windows.
When you set up your Internet account for the first time, make
sure that you select GD87 as the connecting modem device.
(For more details contact your Internet Service Provider, or for
help using Windows Dial Up Networking, search Windows Help
[Start>Help])
Testing the Infrared Connection
The following process will set up a PC to connect to your GD87
using the Windows standard communication software,
HyperTerminal, as an example (the process described may
vary slightly for other software packages).
Note: Depending on how your computer has been set up
‘HyperTerminal’ may not be located in ‘Communications’ (as
detailed in the first instruction).
Ø Select Start > Programs > Accessories >
Communications > HyperTerminal
Ø Double click on HyperTerminal.
In the Connection Description dialogue box, enter a name of
your choice in the Name field and click OK.
Ø In the Phone Number dialog box, select the country/region
code, enter your Internet Service Provider’s phone number
and confirm that GD87 is selected in the “Connect using”
box.
Click OK.
When the connect dialogue box is displayed, click Cancel.
Ø Select File > properties and confirm that GD87 is selected.
Click OK.
Ø In the HyperTerminal window, type AT+CGMI and click.
If GD87 has connected successfully you will receive the
reply OK.
