See To Create a Passcode on page 2-39.
3. Modem setup:
You will need two modems and two available phone lines, one of each for your
PC and your 5500.
Reminder: Orban supports only the 3Com/U.S. Robotics® 56kbps fax mo-
dem EXT on the 5500 side (although other 56kbps modems will often
work OK).
Connect the modem to the 5500's serial port with a standard (not null) modem
cable. The cable provided with your 5500 is a null modem cable and will not
work.
You can use either an internal or an external modem with your PC.

icon on the back of the modem (modem in).
B) Connect the modem cable from the modem to the serial port of the 5500.
