Connecting a Modem
You can connect a modem to the terminal so it communicates over telephone
lines with another computer .
•
Note-If
the pin assignments required by your modem differ from those
needed by your computer, you'll need an RS-232C interface cable especially
configured for your modem. Your modem may have its own cable. Refer to
your modem's reference manual for details.
1. Attach the female end of the 25-pin RS-232C interface cable to the
COMM port on the back of the terminal.

of each connector to secure the interface.
