Getting the Information You Need
The Aplio/Phone must be configured before you use it for the first time. To do so, you will use the keys on your touch-tone phone and the character conversion chart.
Note: You will probably only need to perform the configuration once. However, should your Internet account information change, you can easily reconfigure your Aplio/Phone.
Before you begin
If you are a new Internet user, take a look at the Glossary of Terms. There you will find a list of Internet- and Aplio/Phone-related terms and their definitions.
In addition, if you are new to the Internet and do not have an Internet account, or if you use a proprietary service such as AOL, you will need to set up a new account with a local ISP before you can configure and use the Aplio/Phone. If you need help finding a compatible ISP, see the ISP list included in your package or visit the Aplio web site at www.aplio.com for the most up-to-date listing.
Getting started
To configure your Aplio/Phone, you need to know:
Your local Internet access number. This is the local dial-up access number provided by your ISP. This is not the number that you use to contact your ISP for sales or support. You may include any prefix (such as 9), that you must dial to get an outside line. Alternatively, you may set a prefix using Extended Configuration codes 10 and 11. See "Entering Extended Configuration Mode".
Do not set a prefix in both the local Internet access number and using Extended Configuration Code 10.
Your user name. This is the name that you use to log in to your ISP account. It is not the same as an email address. Example: jbrown is a user name; JBrown@aplio.com is an e-mail address. User names are usually case-sensitive.
Your password. This is the password that you use to log in to your ISP account. Passwords are case-sensitive. Your ISP's Internet Access Type. This is the method Aplio/Phone uses to communicate with your ISP. A full list of ISP Access Types appears on the Compatible ISP List that came in your package. The country code of the country in which you are using your Aplio/Phone. This code is used to configure your Aplio/Phone for the country you are using it in. For example, if you were calling from the U. S. or Canada, the country code would be 1. Or if you were calling from another country, you would use its country code such as 33 for France, 852 for Hong Kong, etc. These numbers correspond to the international dialing code of each country.
When you have this information, write it on the worksheet in the Configuration Worksheet.
Performing Character Conversion
Once you have gathered the required information, you will need to use the Character Conversion Chart on the next page, to convert user names or passwords containing non-numeric characters, into two-digit codes. For example, J=19, a=40, 1=01, and _= 96 (the underscore key).
Or, if you have Web access, you can use the Character Conversion Calculator found on the Aplio Web site at: http://www.aplio.com/Support/ctCalc.htm.
The series of two-digit codes that make up a user name or password must begin with the key and end with the # key. For example, the user name Jane1_S would convert to the following two-digit codes: * 19 40 53 44 01 96 28 #.
Note: Only user names and passwords that contain non-numeric characters need to be converted. If your user name or password consists of numbers only, enter it "as-is".

For example, if your information were as follows:
Internet access number is 555-1212 User name is TJones Password is Aplio1 Country in which you are using your Aplio/Phone is the United State
you would convert the information into two-digit codes, as shown in the conversion sample:
Conversion Sample
ISP Access Number: 5 5 5 1 2 1 2 Would be converted to: 5 5 5 1 2 1 2 # User Name: T J o n e s Would be converted to: * 29 19 54 53 44 58 # Password: A p l i o 1 Would be converted to: * 10 55 51 48 54 01 # Internet Access Type: 1 Would be converted to: 1 # Country Code: 1 Would be converted to: 1 #
The Aplio/Phone can store configuration data for a primary ISP (the one you use most often) and a secondary ISP. This is useful, for example, if you travel with your Aplio/Phone and want to avoid reconfiguring the Aplio/Phone each time you change locations.
Note: If you need to insert a pause in the ISP Access Number, dial ** for the pause. See the following sample:
ISP Access Number: 0 pause 5551212 Would be converted to: 0 ** 5551212#
