Connecting the modem to a telephone line
Your computer may come with a built-in modem (available
on certain models) that can be connected to a standard voice-
grade telephone line.
The modem allows you to:
❖
Access the Internet.
❖
Communicate with your office’s local area network
(LAN) or larger corporate wide area network (WAN).
For specific information about connecting to a LAN or
WAN, consult your network administrator.
❖
Send a fax directly from your computer.

modem, visit Toshiba’s Web site at

Before you can communicate using the modem, you need to
connect it to a telephone line. Your computer’s built-in
modem port provides an RJ-11 jack, allowing you to connect
the modem to a standard voice-grade telephone line.
