DIGITAL
DATA SERVICE
Standard Modem Setting
The SX5D features a DB-9 digital computer fax/data port for connection to a personal computer
(PC) - not supplied. When connected to a PC, the SX5D’s PC interface is capable of sending
and receiving digital fax transmissions, sending and receiving e-mail communications, and
browsing the Internet (Data speeds may vary depending upon your cellular network).
PC Data Connection
A data cable - not included - is required for data transmission. To determine the necessary cable,
count the number of PIN connections in the serial port of your PC (see below). If there are 9 PIN
connections in the PC serial port, a DB-9 (female) to DB-9 (male) cable is required. If there are 25
PIN connections in the PC serial port, a DB-25 (female) to DB-9 (male) cable is required - see
Figure - .
For specific digital fax/data setup procedures, see Appendix A - Setup PC Serial Port for
Phonecell Digital Fax/Data.
Sending and Receiving Digital Fax
Your computer needs a standard 19,200 bps modem and a commercial PC fax emulator (Winfax,
Netfax, etc.), To send a fax, no special settings are required. The computer will change the SX5D
mode setting automatically and reset it to voice mode after sending a fax. To receive a fax, you
must change the SX5D from voice to fax mode.
1) Set up a standard 19,200 bps modem.
2) Install a commercial PC fax emulator (Winfax, Netfax, etc.).
