External Device Connections

Modem models will need an RJ-11 cable. To connect the cable:

1.Plug one end of the RJ-11 cable into the RJ-11 jack on the computer. If the RJ-11 cable contains a noise suppression circuit, which prevents interference with TV and radio reception, orient the cable so that the noise suppression circuitry is closest to the computer.

2.Plug the opposite end of the cable into a standard telephone wall jack. Or, if applicable, plug the opposite end of the cable into the phone plug adapter, which then plugs into the wall jack. Some countries may require an adapter to connect the modem to the telephone wall jack.

The NIC models will need an RJ-45 cable. To connect the cable:

1.Plug one end of the RJ-45 cable into the RJ-45 jack on the computer.

2.Connect the other end of the cable into the network jack.

To find additional modem and NIC information, refer to the following documents:

■Modem and Networking guide on the Notebook Products Reference Library CD for configuring the modem and installing software.

■Modem Commands on the Notebook Products Reference Library CD for AT Commands, including dial modifiers and instructions.
