How to Hook Up the Modem
1.
Turn off your computer and any attached
devices, such as a printer.
2.
Connect the serial cable to the modem and
to the computer. When looking for the
serial port label on the back of your
computer, look for ports labeled COM,
MODEM, RS-232, or SERIAL. DO
NOT select AUX, GAME, LPT, or
PARALLEL.
NOTE:
Remember which serial port
you selected. This information will be
necessary when installing your
communications software.
3.
Plug the power adapter into the power jack
on the modem and into a standard wall
outlet.
4.
Plug one end of the phone cord into the
telephone jack (labeled with a wall plug
icon on the bottom of the case) and the
other end into a phone wall jack.
WARNING :
The phone jack you
use must be for an ANALOG phone line.
Most office phones are wired through
digital lines. Be sure you know what type
of line you have. The modem will be
damaged if you use a digital phone line.
