Glossary: ISDN
connections are a way to
establish a data call
between your phone and
your access point. ISDN
connections are digital
from end to end and as
such offer quicker set-up
times and faster data
rates than analogue
connections. In order to
use an ISDN connection,
both your Internet service
provider and network
operator must support it.
•
Data call type
(for GSM data and high speed data only) -
Analogue
,
ISDN v.110
, or
ISDN
v.120
defines whether the phone uses an analogue or digital connection. This setting
depends on both your GSM network operator and Internet Service Provider (ISP),
because some GSM networks do not support certain types of ISDN connections. For
details, contact your ISP. If ISDN connections are available, they establish connections
more quickly than analogue methods.
•
Maximum data speed
(for GSM data and high speed data only) - The options are
Automatic
/ 9600 / 14400 / 19200 / 28800 / 38400 / 43200, depending on what you
have chosen in
Session mode
and
Data call type
. This option allows you to limit the
maximum connection speed when high speed data is used. Higher data rates may cost
more, depending on the network service provider.
Note: The speeds above represent the maximum speed at which your
connection will operate. During the connection, the operating speed may be
less, depending on network conditions.

- This option allows a server to call you back once you have made the
initial call, so you have a connection without paying for the call. Contact your service
provider to subscribe to this service.
Note: Charges may apply for certain types of received calls, such as roaming
and high speed data calls. Contact your GSM network operator for more
information.

that were used in the callback-requesting call. The network must support that
type of call in both directions, to and from the phone.
