INTRODUCTION
You have just acquired a modem. IAM is the
ideal solution for everyone who wants the
benefits of e-mails but without using a PC.
IAM is the first standalone Internet Answering-Machine that
not only automatically records your e-mails but also allows
you to read their contents on its LCD display without the need
for a PC. After reading them, you can make a voice reply.
Connected to a PC, IAM becomes a powerful modem/fax
56000 V.90. Then you have access to all the communication
functions you may need (fax, file transfer, surfing on the Web,
etc).
Use of the Internet Answering-Machine
There are two ways of using IAM: with or without a PC.
²With a PC
Before using IAM, you must first install the modem and its software. Follow
the instructions in "Installing IAM on a PC".
²Without a PC
If you do not have a PC, you can use IAM straight away. To do this, you
must first start it up. Follow the instructions in "Using IAM without a PC".
Installing IAM on a PC
To install your IAM modem, follow the steps 1 through 4.
