  ISSUE:HP OmniBook 300, 425, 430, and 530 - mode switching for

              the HP Internal Fax/Modem.

  MODE DESCRIPTION



              When switching from the use of Delrina WinFax LITE to

              DynaComm, the HP OmniBook Internal Fax/Modem may still

              be in fax service class mode 2.  To successfully use

              DynaComm for data communications, the fax/modem must be

              switched to fax service class mode 0.  The fax service

              class mode can be determined in DynaComm communications

              by typing the modem command AT+FCLASS?.  If the number

              "2" is displayed, fax service class mode 2 is still

              active.  See the table below to determine what other

              modes are possible.

  MODIFY THE MODEM INITIALIZATION STRINGS



              The WinFax LITE and DynaComm initialization strings

              need to be modified so that normal communications can

              resume.  On the following pages are step-by-step

              instructions to modify the initialization strings to

              allow reliable application switching on the HP OmniBook

              300, 425, 430, and 530.

              Follow these instructions to modify the DynaComm

              settings for reliable usage with the HP Internal

              Fax/Modem, HP part number F1040A.



              1. While in Windows, close all other applications

                 except Program Manager.

              

              2. Start the DynaComm communications software.

              

              3. From the DynaComm Settings menu choose Modem...

              

              4. In the Modem selection screen, select the Hewlett-

                    should resemble the following.

                    

                    ^M~AT&C1&D2Q0V1X4E1S0=0^M

                    

                 b. Add the following command after the ^M~AT portion

                    and before

                    &C1&....+FCLASS=0

                 will still see the old initialize string being sent

                 to the HP Internal Fax/Modem.  In order to activate

                 the new initialize string do the following.

              

                 a. From the Settings menu, choose Modem.

                 g. When re-entering the main DynaComm screen, you

                    will now see the correct initialize string being

                    sent to the HP Internal Fax/Modem.

                 

              11.     Exit DynaComm and SAVE settings when prompted.

  

              Your DynaComm communications software should now be

              properly initialized to work with the HP Internal
