How to Connect the Modem to
the Computer
Turn off your computer and any attached
1.
devices, such as a printer, monitor, keyboard,
and mouse.
Connect the serial cable to the modem and to the
2.
computer. When looking for your serial port
label on the back of your computer, select COM,
MODEM, RS-232, or SERIAL. DO NOT select
AUX, GAME, LPT, or PARALLEL.
Remember which serial port you selected. This
information will be necessary when installing your
communications software.
3. Plug one end of the phone cord into the TELCO
socket. Plug the other end into a phone wall
socket.
The phone socket you use must be for an
phone line (the type found in most homes). Many
office buildings have digital phone lines. Be sure you
know which type of line you have. The modem will be
damaged if you use a digital phone line.
Plug the power adapter that came with the
4.
modem into a standard wall socket and insert its
plug into the power socket on the modem.
5. If you wish to use your modem and phone
through the same phone wall socket, plug your
phone's cord into the modem's phone socket. Use
an adapter cable if necessary.
You cannot use the modem and phone at the same
time if they share the same line.
There is no phone socket on the modem in some
countries.
