Apple 3400 Series manual Connecting a telephone line to the expansion slot card

5To use your Ethernet connection, open the AppleTalk control panel and choose Ethernet from the “Connect via” pop-up menu.

If you want to use a TCP/IP-based application, you may want to make sure that the TCP/IP control panel is configured appropriately.

For more detailed instructions on using the network control panels, see the Networks topic area of Mac OS Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

Connecting a telephone line to the expansion slot card

Follow these steps to connect a standard telephone line to the card in your PowerBook:

1With the PowerBook shut down, open the cover on the computer’s back panel and verify that your computer has a card with a modular connector.

You can check the label on the inside of the cover to determine that the card provides a modem.

2Connect one end of a modular telephone cord that came with your computer to the wall socket for a residential phone line.

IMPORTANT Make certain that the phone line is the standard residential line, not a digital line. Connecting a digital line to your modem card could damage it. Also, you must use a single-line telephone cord (supplied with your computer if a modem card was preinstalled) to connect to the telephone line. A single-line phone cord has only two wires visible in the plastic connector (as opposed to the commonly used four-wire cord).
