Connecting a modem or GeoPort Telecom Adapter

Your server has a port, called the modem port, which is a serial port designed for use with modems and devices such as the GeoPort Telecom Adapter. These devices, when used with appropriate telecommunications software, take advantage of the server’s built-in modem capabilities. The GeoPort Telecom Adapter comes with communications and fax software and can be purchased from Apple-authorized dealers.

You can connect a standard modem to the modem port, using a standard modem cable. To connect an adapter or modem to your server, follow the instructions that came with your adapter or modem.

A GeoPort Telecom Adapter can also be connected to the printer port.

You can also connect a printer to the modem port.

Connecting audio equipment

Your server can play and record stereo sound from a variety of sources. You can listen to or reproduce stereo sound by connecting audio equipment to the sound input and output ports on the server. You can use your internal CD-ROM drive to play and record sound from audio compact discs (CDs).

For information on using the Mac OS to choose sound input and output options, to record an alert sound, or to play audio CDs, see “Choosing Sound Devices and Alert Sounds” in Chapter 1 of the Workgroup Server Administrator’s Guide and the “Sound” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
