|
|

|
Phone
line is connected to your modem. |
|

iPass often works with many service
providers in major business centers
in the event one service provider
suffers a temporary outage. If
you have already successfully
in using the iPass service and
you are having trouble connecting
through a particular access point,
check to see if there is an alternative
number to use.
Before
You Roam
Please find below three points
that you should check before you
travel.
|
|
|
1.
|
Test
the Dial Wizard before roaming
Follow the instructions for installing
the iPass Dial Wizard and test its
operability before you begin traveling.
We also recommended you set up alternative
access numbers before you begin
roaming (this is a precautionary
measure as some access points can
occasionally be unavailable). |
2.
|
Different
modems functioning worldwide
Many countries have different telecommunications
laws and practices. Check with your
modem supplier to ensure your modem
will be compatible with the phone
systems in the country where you
are traveling. Many of the older
modems are not compatible from country
to country. Make sure you have all
compatible electrical power adapters
needed for the country where you
are roaming. For some comprehensive
information about international
phone systems, please see: http://www.teleadapt.com/
