Installing the Modem

Installing the USB Peripheral Cable and Telephone Cable

The drawing below shows the back panel of the Actiontec 56K USB Call Waiting
Modem and the correct cable installation. The USB peripheral cable has a differ-
ent connector at either end. The flatter, rectangular plug attaches to the USB port
of your computer. The smaller plug that is more square in shape attaches to the
back of the modem.

Figure 1: Rear View of  56K USB Call Waiting Modem

On the rear panel of your modem are input jacks to connect devices to the modem.
As shown in the diagram, there are jacks for connection to a phone and to a phone
line. The connector labeled “Line” is meant to be connected to a standard house-
hold analog phone line. To help reduce the load on your phone line, it is recom-
mended that the modem be the only device connected. Plug your telephone into
the port on the back of the modem labeled “Phone.” This will facilitate use of the
Call Waiting feature (see page 18.)
