About this Manual
This manual covers all of the different TM1602G models. Your model may not have
all of the capabilities outlined in this manual. To determine which model you have
purchased, refer to the image at the left. The model number is on the label affixed
to the Telephony Modem.
Ethernet Connection
Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more devices into a Local Area
Network (LAN). Use the Ethernet connection if your computer has built-in Ethernet
hardware or you want to share the Telephony Modem connection with several com-
puters.
Note
:
To connect two or more computers to the Ethernet port, you will need a
hub or broadband router (available at computer retailers).
The Telephony Modem package comes with a 4-foot (1.2m) Ethernet cable (the
connectors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if
necessary at a computer retailer. If you are connecting the Telephony Modem
directly to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub or broadband router with a cross-over
switch, ask for Category 5e (CAT5e) straight-through cable. CAT5e cable is required
for gigabit Ethernet (Gig-E), not regular CAT5 cable.
