1.5 Connecting to the telephone line
Use the following procedure to connect your modem to the telephone line:
1. Make sure you have an RJ-11 telephone jack. If you need a modular jack,
either obtain a telephone adapter from a telephone or electronics store and
follow the installation instructions provided with the adapter, or have your
local telephone company replace your existing telephone jack with a
modular-type jack and your existing telephone cord with a modular cord.
2. Unplug your telephone's cable from the wall jack.
3. Take one end of the modular telephone cable supplied with the modem
and plug it into the LINE modular telephone jack on the back of the modem
(see Figure 1-2).
4. Plug the other end of the telephone cord into the telephone jack on the wall,
as you would any modular telephone.
1.6 Connecting to your telephone
Your modem is so convenient, it provides a second modular telephone jack
that lets you connect your telephone to the same telephone line the modem is
using. This lets you manually dial data calls or make voice calls when you are
not using your modem.
Use the following procedure to connect your telephone to your modem:
Connect the telephone's modular cord into the PHONE jack on the back of
your modem (see Figure 1-3).
Lift your telephone's handset and listen for a dial tone.
