You may consider creating a separate set of dialing properties to use
when your phone is connected, rather than changing any existing
settings.
Please refer to the documentation or online help files for your data or
fax application when creating new dialing configurations, or modifying
existing settings.

Note: The restrict calls feature may affect any digital data/fax calls you
attempt. If you experience problems, check your call restrictions.

Initiate a digital data or fax call using your data or fax software
configured for your phone. Digital data or fax calls cannot be initiated
by using your phone keypad.
2
Once the phone connects with the network, an indicator showing the
status of data transmitted and received is visible on the phone's
display. The status indicator is visible for the entire call.
3
Terminate the data call from your data software; fax calls typically
terminate automatically. Avoid terminating a call by pressing the End
key
. This action may cause your data or fax application to lock
up temporarily and could cause loss of data.
Note: Any touch tones (DTMF tones) needed for calling cards, special
long-distance access numbers, etc. must be programmed into the
dialing string.
• PREPARE TO RECEIVE DIGITAL DATA/FAX CALLS
Note: For more information about receiving digital data and fax calls,
please refer to the chapter "Manual selection of incoming calls" in
the DLR-3P Installation and Configuration Guide.
Your phone must be connected to your PC via the data cable.

• MANUAL SELECTION OF INCOMING DATA/FAX
CALLS
Certain service providers require that you preset your phone to receive the
incoming data or fax call, rather than having the phone automatically
detect the call type.
Note: Check with your service provider to see if prearrangement of data
and/or fax calls is necessary.
Your phone contains a menu option that should be used to configure your
phone for inbound data and fax calls. This option uses the phone’s menu
to pre-arrange inbound data and fax calls, rather than entering
customized modem initialization strings into your data or fax software.
