How to Connect the Modem to
the Computer
1.
Turn off your computer and any attached
devices, such as a printer, monitor, keyboard,
mouse.
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.
Remember which serial port you selected. This
information will be necessary when installing your
communications software.
3.
Plug the power adapter into the power socket on
the modem and into a standard wall outlet.
