MINI-MODEM (33.6 KBPS DATA/FAX MODEM)
• Serial Cable: To connect the Mini-Modem to
your computer, you must provide a serial cable,
obtainable at computer stores and many office
supply stores. The cable should have a male DB25
connector at the modem end. For IBM and
compatible computers, the other end may have
a female DB25 connector or a female DB9
connector, depending on your computer. Most
Macintosh computers require a round, 8-pin, mini-
DIN connector. The Macintosh serial cable should
be wired for hardware flow control. To reduce
electrical interference, the FCC requires that the
cable be shielded.
• Telephone Line: You must have a telephone line
with a jack (connector) that accepts the cable that
comes with the Mini-Modem. If you do not have a
telephone jack near your computer, you should
install one before proceeding.
In North America, do-it-yourself telephone
extension kits and accessories are available
wherever telephones are sold. You may also
hire an independent contractor or your local
telephone company to do the work. If you want
a separate line for your fax modem, you must
contact your telephone company.
