Step 4: Connect the Terminal to a Telephone Line

You can connect the Omni 3210 to a telephone line in one of
two ways — direct or pass-through. The relative advantages
and disadvantages of these two types of telephone connections
are described below.
About Direct Telephone Line Connections
With a direct telephone line connection, a single telephone line
cord connects the Telco port on the back of the terminal
directly to a nearby RJ-11 type modular telephone company
wall jack (see Figure 8). A direct connection is usually
preferred because telephone line usage is dedicated to the
terminal, making it possible to perform an electronic
transaction at any time.
