Communicating with Others
Setting Up Your Communications Software
Before you can use the communications features pre-loaded on your HP Brio
PC, you need to configure the fax and e-mail software.
Once you have followed the steps below, and have filled in the personal details
necessary for your fax and e-mail features to work, you can use your HP Brio
PC to communicate with other users, by fax or by e-mail.
Setting Up Your Fax Modem
To learn how to set up your fax modem, see the appropriate item in
Task Helper
in the HP Brio Center. It guides you step-by-step through the process,
prompting you for information as required.
Setting Up Your Dialing Properties
The dialing properties define your current location — that is the country and
area that you are located in, for dialing purposes. All the communications
functions on your computer use this information to establish a connection.
To set the dialing properties,
1
Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
2
Double-click the Modems icon.
3
In the Modem Properties dialog box, click the Dialing Properties button.
