The Data/Fax Modem. MAXDATA PRO 600 I

The Data/Fax Modem

The system automatically sets up the integrated analog modem. To use the modem functions, connect the modem socket to an analog telephone socket (not ISDN) using the telephone cable.

Proper use:

The modem can be connected to all analog sockets (TBR 21) in Europe.

It is to be used solely for data communication purposes.

Do not attempt to connect the modem to an ISDN telephone socket! This would result in serious damage to the device.

The LAN Port

The built-in network adapter enables your computer to connect to the Internet via a

10/100 Mbps network or DSL.

The connection is made via an Ethernet network cable and RJ-45 connectors. These are inserted on the back of the computer and into an available network hub or DSL socket.

Under no circumstances should you confuse a network cable

RJ-45 connector with an ISDN connector!

NEVER attempt to connect the LAN adapter to an ISDN telephone socket!

This would result in serious damage to the device.

System Overview

Installation Instructions

Restoring the Drivers

Your system is supplied in a preloaded condition. This means that all the data and drivers that the system requires are already on the hard disk. In case you erase and/or format your hard disk drive, the system drivers are stored on the Utility CD supplied with the computer.

After reinstalling the operating system (for example, with the Recovery CD), this allows you to restore your notebook to a usable condition.

The Utility CD

The Utility CD will run automatically after you place it in the drive. If this is not the case, you can run the CD as follows: select <My Computer”> <CD Drive> and then the “utility.

exe” file.

You can select the driver that you want to install in the “Drivers” section. Recommended:

All of the drivers listed from top to bottom.

In addition, you can later install the advanced functions you require in the “Utility” section.

When using the Utility CD, please follow the menu instructions.

Setting the Resolution

After installation of the graphics driver, you can set the resolution to the desired size (e.g.

1024 x 768).

You do this in the following way:

Right-click on any free area of the desktop. Select <Properties>.

In the Display Properties window, click the Settings tab.

Here you can set the slider to a resolution you find comfortable.

Click <Apply> to set the resolution.
