Connecting A Telephone Set To The Modem's Phone Jack - ZyXEL Communications 2864 Series User Manual

Connecting a Telephone Set to the Modem's PHONE Jack

A normal telephone set can be connected to the 2864 modem's PHONE jack and
be used for recording and playback. A telephone set needs DC voltage and a current
supply to work. This DC voltage is normally supplied through the phone line from
the telephone company or a PABX.
The ZyXEL 2864 series modems are designed to provide DC voltage and current to
the telephone set connected to the PHONE jack. Thus, a normal telephone set can
be used to record or playback voice messages.
