Getting Connected
SPARCbook 3 models provide a built-in modem which can be used in
U.S.A. and Canada. In other territories and with SPARCbook 3000
models, you can use a PCMCIA modem.
Note
The SPARCbook 3 models with integral modem are approved for connection to
telephone systems in the U.S.A., in accordance with FCC Part 68 rules, and in
Canada. You are not permitted to connect the internal modem to the telephone
systems of some other countries. In countries other than the U.S.A. and Canada,
you should use one of the PCMCIA modems available from your SPARCbook
supplier.
To use the internal modem, connect your SPARCbook 3 modem
connector into the wall phone socket.
To use a PCMCIA modem, insert the card into one of the PCMCIA
slots. See “Installing a PCMCIA Card” on page 10-5.
Configuring the modem
There are no system configuration procedures necessary to use modems
with the SPARCbook as the necessary device file already exist. The
SPARCbook implementation of Solaris 2 also provides convenient
labels for each device that can be used with the
tip
and other
commands. Table Table 9-1summarizes the device files and labels
associated with the internal modem and PCMCIA slots.
