- Test the FASTNET iPass Dial Wizard before roaming - Follow the instructions for installing the iPass Dial Wizard and test its operability before you begin traveling. We also recommended that you set up alternative access numbers before you begin roaming (this is a precautionary measure as some access points can occasionally be unavailable).
- Check modem compatibility 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 of the compatible electrical power adapters needed for the country in which you are roaming. For some comprehensive information about international phone systems, please see: http://www.teleadapt.com/.
- Update your FASTNET iPass Dial Wizard - Before you begin roaming, consult with your home Internet service provider to make sure you have the most recent version of the iPass Dial Wizard. This will ensure that you have the current access numbers before you roam. PAETEC and iPass add new phone numbers regularly.
