Setting Up a Remote Connection  5-3 

Connecting the telephone cable 

A – Modem Connector 
B – Clip Side of Telephone Cable Connector Goes Here 

Do not connect the internal modem to a 

digital private branch exchange connector, or the digital side of an 
integrated digital network. Use only analog phone connections. 
Failure to do so may result in explosion or fire and will damage 
your modem. 

During thunderstorms be sure to disconnect the modem phone 
cable from the NEC MobilePro. Failure to do so may result in 
explosion or fire. 

3. 

Connect the other RJ-11 connector into an active (analog) phone 
jack. (Use a country-specific modem adapter if necessary.) 

Now you are ready to create a connection for an ISP or RAS account.
