Installing the Modem

ARDWARE INSTALLATION

Your DataLink V.90 is housed in a Type II PCMCIA case. It will install in a Type

II or Type III 68 pin PCMCIA slot. PC Card slots are polarized and the modem

will install only in the correct orientation. Notebook computers usually have their

slots located on one side of the computer. To insert the modem, slide it gently into

the opening of the slot keeping it straight. Apply an even pressure until that last

one-half inch, then press firmly until the modem is seated completely into the

notebook. If the PCMCIA slots are recessed into the notebook, it may be difficult

to properly insert modem. Be sure to apply pressure until you feel the modem

click. This is especially true for new notebook computers. The illustration be-

low shows the modem being installed into a typical notebook.

Fig. 1: Installing the Modem

The modem comes with its own dedicated phone cable. This cable has a US stan-

dard RJ-11 connector on one end for the phone line and a special connector that

fits into the modem on the other end. Be careful not to push the computer against

an adjacent object when the cable is in place. This may bend the connector caus-

ing damage to the pins. Keep the area around the computer clear of large objects

so that you can move the notebook freely without hitting the cable or connector.
