7 PLACING, RECEIVING AND DISCONNECTING CALLS This chapter covers the following main topics: s Placing calls s Receiving calls s Disconnecting calls s Using a connection script Placing Calls Your 56K LAN Modem allows you to place calls to a remote location in one of two ways: either automatically via a pre-defined service provider, or manually by entering the telephone number of the destination on a call-by-call basis. 3Com assumes no liability for phone charges or other expenses incurred in connection with the use of this product. Placing a Call Automatically To place a call using one of your four pre-defined service provider profiles, simply launch your application. For example, should you have an ISP configured as one of your service providers, opening a Web browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer will cause the LAN Modem to automatically dial and connect to your pre-configured ISP. Windows 98 and 95 users may need to disable "Connect to the Internet as needed" in order to bypass the Dial-Up Networking "Connect To" window. Refer to Chapter 8, "Evaluating Symptoms and Solutions" for further information. Call Routing Among Service Providers The 56K LAN Modem automatically calls the first configured service provider. If you configure a second remote connection, such as an additional ISP, and want to use that second profile for an automatic data call, do the following. 1 Access the 56K LAN Modem's configuration home page. 2 Choose the Workstation graphic. 3 Select your computer. 4 Check only the service provider that you want to use.
