RS232 Connection
Plug one end of the serial cable into the RS232 connector on the modem, and the oth-
er end into a serial port connector on your computer, such as COM1 or COM2.
Line Connection
Plug one end of the phone cable into the modem’s LINE jack, and the other end into
a phone line wall jack.
Note: The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE jack. Do not plug the
phone into the LINE jack or the line cable into the PHONE jack.
Note: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada
impose certain restrictions on equipment connected to public telephone systems.
For more information, see Appendix A.
Phone Connection
For DSVD calls, plug a telephone into the modem’s PHONE jack.
Note: The telephone can operate only when the modem is turned on.
Power Connection
Plug the power supply module into an AC power outlet or power strip. Plug the
power supply’s cable into the PWR jack on the modem.
Note: Use only the power supply supplied with the modem. Use of any other power
supply will void the warranty and could damage the modem.
Power-On Test
Test the modem by turning it on (a power on/off switch is located on the right side).
When you apply power, the modem performs a diagnostic self-test, indicated by
several indicators flashing for a second or two, after which the 56 indicator should
light. If this does not happen, check that the power switch is on, the power supply is
solidly connected, and the AC outlet is live. If these measures do not work, see
Chapter 5, “Solving Problems.”
