RS232

 

These connections are used to transfer data between
the Courier and a PC. The RS232 can also be used
to connect to a modem to send audio down a
telephone line.

 

The USB connection is optional.

ISDN connector (optional)

 

 

ISDN

 

The ISDN connector is optional and is used for
connecting directly to an ISDN line. If your
machine is a CO-STD without ISDN, then this
connector does not appear.

 
 

q

PCMCIA card and eject button

 

 

EJECT

PCMCIA CARD

 

The PCMCIA (PC card) slot can accept a single Type III PCMCIA hard disk or a
Type II ATA PC Memory Card . The card will only fit in one orientation - ensure
that the card is level with the slot before pushing the card in. The orange eject
button should be punched with the forefinger, or thumb, to eject the hard disk -
angling the Courier with this side downwards will help to release the disk.
