Units Using dialup connection If you sometimes have to dial in to one or more networks from remote sites, such as hotels or offices, you will need to start by setting up in your computer a profile for each site you dial from and a profile for each network you dial in to. For details on setting up network and dial-up connections, refer to Windows online help. Dialup connections To use the built-in modem, start Access Connections. For Windows 7: To start the Access Connections wizard, see "Accessing applications in Windows 7" on page 23, and follow the instructions on the screen. For Windows Vista and Windows XP: To start the Access Connections wizard, click Start ➙ All Programs ➙ ThinkVantage ➙ Access Connections, and follow the instructions on the screen. Notes: Before you start setting up dialup connections by using Access Connections, obtain either of the following from your Internet service provider (ISP) or network administrator. • Dialer program provided by your ISP OR • Phone number to the access point • User name and password Access Connections, a connectivity assistant program, can easily enable one network adapter and disable the other adapters on demand. After setting up your dialup connection, you can use the program to quickly switch the network settings. Dialing manually If your computer is repeatedly unable to connect to your ISP or to a LAN, it is easier to dial an access number manually. For details, refer to your Windows online help. Note: You will need to have a dual jack to the same phone line or a "Y" splitter for your phone line so that your computer and your telephone can share a line. Modem use abroad Different countries and regions follow different procedures and regulations regarding modem use. Be sure to check with your hotel front desk or with the local telephone utility to learn the proper procedure for plugging in and unplugging your modem and power cord. DANGER To avoid shock hazard, do not connect the cable to or disconnect the cable from the telephone outlet on the wall during electrical storms. Around the world there are dozens of plugs and jacks for phone connections. You can usually purchase an adapter while in destination country, but adapter kits are available in your home country prior to your trip. Chapter 2. Using your computer 75
