How to Connect the Modem to the Computer
1. Turn off your computer and any attached devices, such as a printer.
2. Connect the serial cable to the modem and to the computer. When
looking for the serial port label on the back of your computer, look
for ports labelled COM, MODEM, RS-232, or SERIAL. DO NOT
select AUX, GAME, LPT, or PARALLEL.
NOTE: Remember which serial port you selected. This
information will be necessary when installing your
communications software.
3. Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the modem and
into a standard wall outlet.
4. Plug one end of the phone lead into the modem telephone socket. It
is labelled with a wall plug icon on the bottom of the case. Plug the
other end into a phone wall socket.
WARNING: The phone socket you use must be for an
ANALOGUE 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.
