Type of service
Your modem is designed to be used on standard-device telephone lines.
Connection to telephone company-provided coin service (central office
implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is
subject to state tariffs. If you have any questions about your telephone line,
such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the
telephone company will provide this information upon request.
Telephone company procedures
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it
can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make
changes in their equipment, operations, or procedures. If these changes
might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone
company will give you notice in writing to allow you to make any changes
necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
If problems arise
If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should
immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to
the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they
may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you in
advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be
notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the
opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever needed on your
modem, they should be performed by TOSHIBA Corporation or an
authorized representative of TOSHIBA Corporation.
Disconnection
If you should ever decide to permanently disconnect your modem from its
present line, please call the telephone company and let them know of this
change.
Fax branding
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any
person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message
via a telephone fax machine unless such a message clearly contains in a
margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of
the transmission, the date and time it is sent, an identification of the
business, other entity or individual sending the message and the telephone
number of the sending machine or such business, other entity or individual.
In order to program this information into your fax modem, you should
complete the setup of your fax software before sending messages.
Use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

Notes for Users in Australia and New Zealand
Modem warning notice for Australia
Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid
Austel permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to
ensure compliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection
is set to Australia. The use of other country/region settings while the
modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in your modem
being operated in a non-compliant manner. To verify that the country/region
is correctly set, enter the command ATI which displays the currently active
setting.
To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following
command sequence:
AT%TE=1
ATS133=1
AT&F
AT&W
AT%TE=0
ATZ
Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown
above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner.
Consequently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment, with the
Telecoms Act 1991 prescribing a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of
non-permitted equipment.
Notes for use of this device in New Zealand
■The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom
acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device
under all operating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which
this modem is capable of operating depend on a specific network
implementation which is only one of many ways of delivering high
quality voice telephony to customers. Failure to operate should not be
reported as a fault to Telecom.
■In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work
properly if:
a/ It is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call, and;
b/ The application using the modem is compatible with the application
at the other end of the call - for example, accessing the Internet
requires suitable software in addition to a modem.
■This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute
a nuisance to other Telecom customers.

User’s Manual xii
■Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s PTC
Specifications are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with
this modem. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within
the following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications:
a/ There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number
within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and;
b/ The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30
seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the
next, and;
c/ Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5
seconds apart.
■Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically
damaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.
■The correct settings for use with this modem in New Zealand are as
follows:
ATB0 (CCITT operation)
AT&G2 (1800Hz guard tone)
AT&P1 (decadic dialing make-break ratio =33%/67%)
ATS0=0 (disable auto answer)
ATS6=4 (blind dial delay)
ATS7=Less than 90 (time to wait for carrier after dialing)
ATS10=Less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay - the factory
default of 15 is recommended)
ATS11=90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration in milliseconds)
ATX2 (dial tone detect, but not USA call progress detect)
■When used in Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with to a
value of either 3 or 4. This ensures:
■a person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before
the modem answers. This confirms that the call has been
successfully switched through the network.
■caller identification information (which occurs between the first and
second ring cadences) is not destroyed.
■The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this
is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some
reason you must use decadic dialing, your communications program
must be set up to record numbers using the following translation table
as this modem does not implement the New Zealand “Reverse Dialing”
standard.
Number to be dialed: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Number to program into computer: 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should be
entered normally.

User’s Manual xiii
■The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because of
this there may be circumstances where the performance is less than
optimal. Before reporting such occurrences as faults, please check the
line with a standard Telepermitted telephone, and only report a fault if
the phone performance is impaired.
■It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the
Telecom line during electrical storms.
■When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line
connection before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.
■This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert
cadences and services such as FaxAbility.
NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE
CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM
General conditions
