How To configure callback

If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might prevent you from completing these steps.

Click to open Network Connections.

Select the dial-up connection, press the Alt key, click the Advanced menu, and then click Remote Access Preferences.

If you haven't opened Phone and Modem in Control Panel before, the Location Information dialog box will be displayed, prompting you to type your area code and other access codes.

In the Remote Access Preferences dialog box, click the Callback tab, and then do one of the following:

To never use callback, click No callback.

To decide whether to use callback each time you connect, click Ask me during dialing when the server offers.

To use callback consistently, click Always call me back at the number‍(s) below, and then select the modem or device that you want to be called back on.

If Phone number is blank for the selected device, click Edit, and then type the number.

To remove a modem or device from the list of possible callback devices, click the modem or device, and then click Delete.

Note
The system administrator for the server you are dialing into can override any callback settings that you set up by denying the use of callback or requiring callback to a particular number. If you think your callback options might be limited, contact your system administrator.
