How to Hook Up the Modem

Turn off your computer and any attached
devices, such as a printer.

Connect the serial cable to the modem and
to the computer. When looking for your
serial port label on the back of your
computer, select 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
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’re going to 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.
5.
If you wish to use your modem and phone
through the same phone wall jack, plug
your phone's cord into the modem's phone
jack (labeled with a phone icon on the
bottom of the case). Use an adapter cable
