Scenario 4: Digital telephone service through a cable provider
Setup 1: Printer is connected directly to a cable modem
1
Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with your printer to the port of the printer.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled
Phone Line 1
or
Phone Port
on the cable modem.
Note:
The port labeled
Phone Line 2
or
Fax Port
is not always active. VoIP providers may charge additional cost
for activation of the second phone port.
3
Connect your analog telephone phone to the
port of the printer.
Notes:
•
To make sure that the telephone port on the cable modem is active, plug an analog telephone into the
telephone port, and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active.
•
If you need two telephone ports for your devices, but do not want to pay additional cost, then do not plug the
printer into the second telephone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the
Phone Line
1
or
Phone Port
, and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.
•
Make sure you use a phone splitter,
not
a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug
an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.
