•3Com (US Robotics) Courier Model 3453 Modem

•3Com OfficeConnect Model 3294 Modem

•3Com (US Robotics) Sportster Model 5686 Modem

•MultiTech Model MT5634ZBA Modem

Configuring a Modem

You must configure the modem before you can connect it to the CSS. You can connect the modem to a terminal or a PC using a terminal emulation program, such as Hyperterm. If you connect the modem to the COM port on a PC, you need the following cable and connectors (see Appendix B, Cable Connector Pinouts):

•RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rolled cable

•RJ-45-to-DB-25 modem adapter

•DB-9-to-RJ-45 terminal adapter
