Confugurazione del modem Thuraya per utilizzo dell'accesso tramite # 1722

Configure your personal computer to connect to the Internet using the Thuraya as a Modem in Windows XP. This article will apply to any method of connecting via data to the Thuraya satellite network: Thuraya 7101 Handset with Data Cable, FDU-2500, TU-2500, Satel unit, and another supported method.

To define your phone as a modem:

Go to Control Panel.
Choose Phone and Modem Options.
Click the “Modems” tab.
Click “Add…”
Check the box next to “Don’t detect my modem; I will select it from a list” and click “Next”.
Under standard modem types choose Standard 19200 bps Modem.
You will be asked to choose a COM port. If you plug directly into a serial port on the back of your PC, you will need to use COM 1 or 2. If you are using a USB to Serial converter, the COM port will be a random number. For more information on which COM port to use, please consult you PC documentation.
Click “Next” then “Finish” to complete the modem setup.
To create the dial-up connection:

Go to Network Connections in Control Panel.
Click on “Create a New Connection” on the left-hand side.
Choose Connect Directly to the Internet.
Choose to setup your connection manually.
Choose “Connect using a dial-up modem.
Choose the Standard 19200bps Modem that you created earlier.
Type in an ISP name (This can be anything).
Type in the phone number that you want to dial. For Thuraya Direct Internet, type 1722.
Type in the username and password for your connection. For Thuraya Direct Internet, the username and password must be blank.
Click “Finish” to create your connection.
To dial the connection to the Internet:

Go to Network Connections in Control Panel.
Double-click on the connection that you have just created.
Make sure that there is no username or password entered, and no pre-fix to the number 1722. When you are happy, click dial.
The progress window will appear on the screen. You should see "Data Call" on the screen of the phone when the call is being made. After a few seconds, the window will disappear and you will be connected to the Internet.
Please note that these instructions are designed for use with Microsoft Windows XP Professional. The theory behind connecting a computer running Windows 98, ME, or 2000 Professional is the same, although the procedures vary slightly.
