Connecting the Modem Cable

The modem cable, which has a standard 6-pin RJ-11 connector at
each end, must be connected to an analog telephone line. Jacks
for digital PBX systems may resemble analog telephone jacks,
but are not compatible with the modem. Immediately disconnect
an accidental connection to a digital line.
1. If the modem cable contains noise suppression circuitry 1 ,
which prevents interference from TV and radio reception,
orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
2. Plug the modem cable into the RJ-11 jack 2 on the computer.

an RJ-11 jack, plug a country-specific modem adapter into
the telephone jack 3 .
