3. CONNECTING A COMPATIBLE PHONE AND A COMPATIBLE PC
You may need to connect a compatible Nokia phone and a compatible PC for two purposes:
• for transferring information between Nokia PC Suite and the phone or
• for using the phone as a modem to access a data network with the PC.
You can use an infrared (IrDA), Bluetooth technology, or a cable connection, depending on
what connection types the phone or the PC supports and what options are selected during
the installation of Nokia PC Suite.
3.1 CONNECTION BETWEEN A COMPATIBLE PHONE AND NOKIA PC SUITE
• Used when transferring information between a compatible phone and Nokia PC
Suite (for example when you synchronise compatible calendar items and contacts
between your phone and the PC, transfer images or ringing tones, or install
applications with Nokia PC Suite)
• Use Nokia Connection Manager to define or change the connection type. Nokia
Connection Manager is installed automatically with any of the Nokia PC Suite
applications, except Nokia Modem Options, which does not use it.
• The connection between Nokia PC Suite applications and a compatible phone is
created automatically, if the phone is connected to the PC when opening the
applications.
• For more information on using Nokia Connection Manager with different
connection types, see Appendix A in this document.
3.2 USING YOUR PHONE AS A MODEM
• Used when sending and receiving data over a data network such as the Internet
• Install Nokia Modem Options during Nokia PC Suite installation.
• Create the data connection with the connection program of the PC (for example
"Network and Dial-up Connection” in Windows 2000 and “Network Connection” in
XP). Change the modem settings in Windows Control Panel -> Nokia Modem
Options.
Note: You cannot use Nokia Connection Manager for using your phone as a
modem with Nokia Modem Options! Make sure that all connection types are
disabled in Nokia Connection Manager when making a data call.
