Appendix D. Modem and printer attachment instructions
This section tells you how to attach the various modems and printers to the
IBM 3164. The IBM 4201 Proprinter is given as an example for a printer
connection although any equivalent printer can be connected.
Modem cable connection
To communicate with the host system over the telephone network, you must
first connect your terminal to the modem using a modem cable. The modem
cable for the IBM 3164 varies, depending on the type of modem used. For
each type of modem, an appropriate modem cable and a wrap socket, as
shown below are available. You can order these items from IBM by
specifying the part numbers.
The following is the test procedure to check whether the modem cable
operates normally.
Step 1. Set the power switch to off (0), and disconnect the modem cable
on the modem side.
Step 2. Connect the wrap socket (part number 5640724) to the modem
cable (part number 6343332) on the modem side.
