with your computer's serial port. This is usually a
25-pin or 9-pin male connector on the back of your
computer, but computer equipment varies. Consult
the computer's manual on this topic. You will also
need a properly configured serial cable. The
recommended cable for IBM Compatible PCs with a
9-pins serial port is an RS-232 cable with all 9-pins
configured straight-through. For computers with a
25-pin serial port, use an IBM AT type (25-pins to
9-pins) RS-232 serial cable. For Macintosh Plus or
newer computers, use only a high speed RS-232
serial cable that supports hardware flow control
signals.
Note: Exercise caution when working with
any AC-powered device. Always turn the
power off when connecting or
disconnecting cables to or from the device.
1. Turn your computer off.
2. Plug the male end of the RS-232 modem cable
into the connector marked RS-232C on the back
of the modem (refer to Figure 2-2).
