Setting Options for a Dial-Up Connection
To configure options for a dial-up connection, right-click the connection and click
Properties. The Properties dialog box for the connection, shown in Figure 15-11, contains
the following tabs:
■ General The General tab shows the modem associated with the connection.
Click Configure to open a Modem Configuration dialog box that allows you to set
the maximum port speed, configure hardware options for the modem, and enable
or disable the modem speaker (although not control the volume level). The General
tab also allows you to configure the phone number for the connection. Configuring
the phone number entails the following:
❑ Typing the phone number itself. You can also click Alternates to open an
Alternate Phone Numbers dialog box that lets you enter additional phone
numbers for the connection to try if the primary number is busy. The Phone
Number text box is the only option available in the Phone Number section
unless you enable dialing rules.
❑ Enabling dialing rules. When you select the Use Dialing Rules check box, the
other options in the Phone Number section become available. Click the Dialing
Rules button to create new dialing locations. Each location you configure
can use an entirely different set of dialing rules, such as area code, number
dialed for access to an outside line, and even calling card information.
❑ Selecting an area code. The list of area codes available is derived from the
dialing locations you configure.
❑ Selecting a country/region code.
