How to Connect the Modem
to the Computer
1.
Turn off your computer and any attached
devices, such as a printer, monitor, keyboard,
and mouse.
2.
Connect the serial cable to the modem and to
the computer. When looking for your serial port
on the back of your computer, look for ports
labeled COM, MODEM, RS-232, or SERIAL.
Do not select AUX, GAME, LPT, or
PARALLEL.
Remember which serial port you selected. This
information will be necessary when installing your
communications software.
3.
Plug one end of the phone cord into the
TELCO socket and the other end into a phone
wallsocket.
The phone wall socket you use must be for an
ANALOGUE phone line. Most office phones are
wired through DIGITAL lines. Be sure you know
which type of line you have. The modem will be
damaged if you use a digital phone line.
4.
Plug the power adaptor that came with the
modem into a standard wall socket and insert
its plug into the power socket on the modem.
5.
If you want to use a telephone on the same line,
use a splitter arrangement. You cannot use the
modem and a phone at the same time if they
share the same telephone line.
