Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and answering machine

There are two different ways to set up the product with your computer based on the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports

NOTE: If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.)
