Fax modem
Before your PC can recognise the communicator as a fax modem, the PC needs to be
properly configured. Consult the user’s guide of your PC on how to install new
modems. PCs with Microsoft Windows 95 or NT 3.51 or higher operating systems
can use the modem information file found on the diskette supplied in the
communicator sales package. See also the Documentation section on the CD-ROM.
Using the communicator as a fax modem requires that data calls are
supported by the network you are using and that this service is activated for
your SIM card. Contact your home service provider for details.

1 Press Settings and select the connection type.
2 Connect the communicator to the PC via an infrared link as described in
”To use the PC Suite” on page 29.
3 Wait until the connection is established.
4 Press Activate in the Fax modem main view. This will change the
communicator to a fax modem. When the communicator is used as a fax
modem, the call status indicator shows the text MODEM.
5 To stop using the communicator as a fax modem, press Disable.
The operations of a modem can be controlled by AT commands and S-
registers. These commands give the advanced user an opportunity to control
all the features of the modem. Should you need to enter the commands
manually, consult the documentation of the PC application that you are using.
A list of common AT commands based on the ETSI 07.07 standard and
supported by the Nokia 9110i Communicator are available in the atcomm.txt
file on the diskette included in the sales package of your communicator.
When the communicator is used as a fax modem, its normal communication
features are disabled. Otherwise, the applications remain functional.
If an active PC connection is idle for longer than 20 minutes, the fax modem is
automatically disabled to conserve power. However, when the communicator
is connected to an electrical outlet, for example, while charging a battery, the
time-out is not active.
