Why Data Port Anywhere (DPA)?
As a mobile notebook user you need modem connectivity to send and
receive critical information when you are working at client sites and
hotels. The problem is that notebook modems are analog and virtually
all office and hotel phone systems are digital. Connectivity in this
environment can be impossible. Worse, connecting to a digital line
without protection can destroy your modem. The Konexx Data Port
Anywhere provides an analog data port to connect your modem to
virtually any office or hotel digital phone system. In addition, the DPA
has a 2-Port USB Hub to simultaneously operate other USB devices.

Pre-Installation
System Requirements - Windows 98 or later.
Compliant with USB 1.1 requirements for bus powered devices. USB
Hub supports low power or self powered USB devices (each USB port
provides 100 mA).
Pre-installation Guidelines - Before installing your DPA,
observe the following guidelines:
CONNECTION WARNING - Never connect the DPA directly to the
telephone line or telephone wall outlet. Use the procedures in
this User's Guide to avoid damaging your DPA.
USB DRIVERS - The DPA uses standard Microsoft drivers. When
installing the DPA for the first time you will be prompted by the
computer to install/load drivers. Follow the prompts to identify the DPA
to your operating system.
TELEPHONE LEVEL SWITCH - Set the Telephone Level switch on
the DPA for the telephone you are using (refer to the Level Switch
Setting Table on page 14). Switch setting #3 is used on the majority of
digital telephone systems.
TELEPHONE SET VOLUME CONTROL - The Telephone Set Volume
Control (handset and/or speakerphone volume) may impact your
connection speed. KONEXX recommends that the volume control be
set in the mid-range for most telephone sets. Some AT&T/Lucent /
Avaya sets may require the volume set at a lower level.
SPEAKERPHONES - If the attached telephone has speakerphone
capability, do not use speakerphone mode. Speakerphone mode
disconnects the handset jack used by the Modem Konnector to send
and receive data.
DIALING - Configure your modem for Tone Dialing (Go to
Start…Settings…Control Panel…Modems…Dialing Properties…click
on TONE DIAL ).
MODEM SPEAKER CONTROL AND VOLUME - The telephone
handset is deactivated when your modem is in use. You can use the
“M1” command to enable the modem speaker and the “L3” command
to set its volume. You can then "listen in" on dialed calls to monitor
their status. Refer to your modem manual for more information.
Data Port Anywhere Installation
Step 1. Connect the USB cable on the DPA to your computer USB
port. The first time you connect the DPA to your computer, you will be
prompted to install USB drivers, simply follow the prompts. The DPA
uses standard Microsoft drivers. Follow the prompts to identify the
DPA to your operating system.
Step 2. Remove the coiled handset cord from the telephone handset
(2A) and insert it into the DPA jack labeled PHONE (2B).
2A
Step 3. Connect your PC Card or internal modem cable to the DPA
jack labeled MODEM.
The DPA is now installed and ready for use. If you choose to use the
telephone handset for voice communications when your modem is not
in use see next page.
2B
Optional Connection: If you want to use the telephone for voice
communications while the modem is not in use, connect the included
coiled handset cord to the telephone handset and the DPA jack labeled
HANDSET.
If you have connected the telephone handset to the DPA lift the
telephone handset and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear the dial
tone, check your connections to ensure they match those shown in the
diagram below.
Return the handset to the cradle until you are ready to go on-line using
your modem and the DPA.
Windows Connection Setup
If you use the DPA while traveling we recommend that you modify your
modem settings to setup your modem for manual dialing.
Why Manual Dial? Because most digital PBX systems, such as
Nortel Meridian, Rolm and others do not accept the analog dialing
tones generated by the modem. In order to connect with the host
modem you will have to manually dial the host modem’s number on the
telephone keypad.
Why x3? The x3 command makes the manual dial process easier.
Your modem normally requires dial tone in order to dial. By adding
“x3” to your modem initialization or setup string you are instructing the
modem to dial without requiring dial tone. Once the x3 is entered it
remains in the Windows default settings. This will not affect modem
use on an analog line.
To enter the “x3” in Windows 98
(Windows 2000 see page 7):
Step 1. Select START button
Step 2. Select SETTINGS
Step 3. Select CONTROL PANEL
Step 4. Double click the MODEMS icon

Step 14. Reboot your computer and proceed to Establishing Your
Connection (Rebooting your computer is only necessary after
first installing x3).
To enter the “x3” in Windows 2000:
Step 1. Select START button
Step 2. Select SETTINGS
Step 3. Select CONTROL PANEL
