Telephone Line

You must have a telephone line with a conveniently located connector

(jack) to accept the cable that comes with the MT5600ZDX. If you do

not have a telephone jack near your computer, you should install an

extension before proceeding.

In North America, telephone extension kits and accessories are

available at electronics stores and wherever telephones are sold. You

may also hire an independent contractor or your local telephone

company to do the work. If you want to add a line for your MT5600ZDX

fax modem, you must contact your telephone company.

To operate the ZDX, you must have data and fax communications

software. Data comm software simplifies control of the modem by

guiding you through the process of selecting your serial port, your port

speed, and other variables, and then storing your settings, including

frequently called phone numbers, so they can be recalled with the

stroke of a key or the click of a mouse. The software must be set up,

or configured, before you can use it. You must have Microsoft

Windows 3.1 or later to run most prevalent software packages. If you

require software for DOS or for the Macintosh operating systems,

please contact Multi-Tech Sales.
