Technical information

Specifying the settings
You specify Express Modem settings in the General Settings and Advanced Options panels, shown
below. Press the pop-up menu to choose either panel. The settings are described next.
Country Telecom Settings
The Country Telecom Settings display the current country and the number of rings possible for
auto-answer. You cannot edit these fields.
Auto-answer incoming calls
When “Auto-answer incoming calls” is selected, and at least one communications program is set to
auto-answer, the modem software automatically answers incoming calls after the number of rings
specified in the ring number field. Calls are answered according to priorities described in “Call
Management,” later in this section.
The checkbox and ring number field override the auto-answer setting of any communications program
that uses the modem software. If you want to receive calls in any of your communications programs,
make sure that this checkbox is selected and the number of rings specified.
If you want to prevent your modem from answering incoming calls, click to remove the X from the
checkbox. If you do this, the modem will not answer calls even if a communications program is set to
auto-answer.
