of your modem.
•DiHardwired Network Connection:
– If using a hardwired network connection (e.g., in your home office) with a high-
speed dedicated telephone connection, choose ISDN.

Your Connection Speed options:
•Wireless:
– If using a private wireless connection with a Cable or DSL service (e.g., in your
home office), you may need to experiment to determine which option works best:
Cable/DSL, Wireless or ISDN. If you are alone on your wireless network, and have a
relatively modern wireless router, Cable/DSL is probably be best. If however, you
experience audio issues, you may have to drop your connection speed down to
Wireless or ISDN.
– If using a shared, public wireless connection, use the Wireless option.
– If using an Aircard wireless connection (such as at a restaurant, airport or hotel) you
will get only a small portion of the network bandwidth so it is best to use the ISDN
option.

connection speed. However, you may experience delays in receipt of the audio
signal.

15. Set Your Connection Speed
