6. The following screen appears. Click Continue to install the modem

upgrade utility.

Page 7

7. When the following screen appears, click continue to install the

modem upgrade utility in c:\modem directory.

8. After the installation of the utility is complete, the following screen

appears and a program group icon “Modem Upgrade Utility” is

created as shown below.

9. Running Modem Upgrade Utility

Make sure the PC Card modem is inserted in the PCMCIA slot. Make

sure the computer is on AC Power or the battery is fully charged.

Disable screen saver and switch off suspend/resume mode. If the

computer supports power saving features, go to Start/Settings/

Control Panel/Power and click on PC-Card Modems tab. Make sure

the box “Turn off PC-Card modem, when not in use” is NOT

checked.

Double click on modem Upgrade Utility icon to install the

appropriate cellphone drivers for your cellphone. Please note that

10. The Load Driver window appears as shown below. Select the

appropriate cellphone model and Firmware list (e.g., Select

1510C_US.336 for 33.6 kbauds) and click on load driver. The driver is

downloaded into the modem flash memory. This takes from five to

ten minutes. Once the driver is downloaded, there is no need to

download the driver again unless you change cellphone models.

CAUTION

Please DO NOT cancel the download, once you have started

loading the driver. Cancelling abruptly may damage the firmware on

the modem. Even if you need to change the driver, wait until the

download process is completed and then load the appropriate driver.

11. After the driver is downloaded, the following screen appears. Once

the driver is downloaded, AutoLine Setup automatically configures

the modem for cellular use. So there’s no need to reboot each time

you switch between a telephone and a cellular connection. Exit the

Load Driver window by choosing Exit.

Page 10

12. Once the appropriate drivers are loaded and the modem is reset,

the following message appears to indicate that the firmware upgrade

is complete. Click OK.

modem is complete. The AutoLine setup will automatically detect whenever

you use the modem with a cellphone. So, there is no need to run the modem

upgrade utility, unless you need to use a different CellPhone model.

After the firmware upgrade is complete, connect the cellphone to the

modem using the cellphone cable.

4. Using the CellPhone with Cellphone cable

Switch off the CellPhone, insert the modem PC Card in the PCMCIA slot

and connect the Cellphone to the modem using the cellphone cable. Then

switch on the CellPhone and Use the modem as directed in the documenta-

tion that came with the modem.

If you are using the dialup networking through cellular phone, please read

the following section to modify the dialup networking settings for cellular

connection.

4A. Modifying Dialup Networking for Cellular Connection

1. Double click Dialup Networking located under “My Computer”.

2. It is strongly recommended that the user makes or creates two separate

connections for dialup networking, one for regular landline phone connec-

tion, another for cellular connection. This will allow the user to define the

best possible connection for either “landline” or “cellular” as shown

below.

3. To change the setting on the current cellular connection, highlight the

Page 12

CellPhone connection icon, go to file and click on proprieties. This will

show how the connection is currently setup.

4. First verify that the correct modem is selected. Next click on Configure.

On the cellular connection, it is advisable to turn down the baud rate to

around 19200 bps. This will allow for a more stable connection. With baud

rates higher than 19200 bps, the modem has a hard time filtering out noise,

which actually either slows down the modem or disconnects it.

5. Another setting, which is very helpful in determining if a good connection

Page 13

is to be established, is to set the dialup connection to bring up a pre-dial up

terminal window. This is checked under the OPTIONS tab. This allows

the user to issue AT commands to verify a stable connection.

6. Now that these changes have been made, you are ready to connect. Plug

the cell phone cable into the modem and into the cell phone, turn the

phone on and launch your Dial-up networking account. You will see a

Pre-Dial Terminal Screen, which will have a blinking cursor in the upper

left-hand side.

7. From here, you can now issue AT commands to the modem to see if the

Page 14

modem is responding and is ready to connect via cellular. First type AT

and press enter on your keyboard. You should receive the response OK.

This tells you that the modem is ready and is waiting further instructions.

Now type AT^T6. You should receive one of the following responses:

000 = Cellular driver loaded, no cellular cable attached to the modem.

160 = Cellular driver loaded, phone is off.

176 = Cellular driver loaded, phone is on. (Ready to Connect)

184 = Cellular driver loaded, phone is on, no cellular service found.

Error = No cellular driver loaded.

Of course, you’re looking for a 176 response. If this is returned, then press

F7 and the Dial-Up Connection will continue as usual. However, you

should see the phone number flash across the LCD screen of the cellphone,

as if it were speed dialing.

Now, you are ready to connect through dialup networking using a

cellphone.
