and configures the following connection properties: answer incoming calls
on the first ring, enable hardware flow control, and lock the connection
speed.
Your modem’s documentation will describe other potential init strings that
you can use to alter the connection properties. For instance, you could
commit the settings to the modem’s non-volatile memory (NVRAM) or
allow the modem to adjust the connection speed for greater stability (and
so on). You may wish to test the connection with the default init string first,
before making changes specific to your modem model or situation, to sim-
plify the troubleshooting process.
Click the 5. Commit button to save your changes and activate the modem
feature with the specified settings.
Configuring the Remote Connection
This section describes how to configure a typical Windows dial-up
session to access the modem connection on the SVxx53DXI. The
instructions here relate to a Windows XP configuration; other versions of
Windows are similar, if not identical.
Please note the following:
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) must be used; no other authentication •
methods are supported.
TCP/IP must be installed/enabled on the computer making the •
connection, and must be used for the dial-up connection.
The connection must be configured to obtain a dynamic IP address. •
The user name/password must match a user currently configured on •
the SVxx53DXI.
For best performance and to simplify the troubleshooting process, •
firewall software should not be used with the dial-up connection.
Open 1. My Network Places from the desktop or the Start menu.

Click 3. Create a new connection under Network Tasks.
