Step Procedure
5 Install the MT2834ZPX card into the selected expansion slot(s) in
the same manner as any other add-on card, as instructed in your
computer’s documentation.
6 Fasten the retaining bracket to the computer chassis and replace
the cover.
7 Your MT2834ZPX requires a modular
LINE JACK
. This is typically
an RJ11C or RJ11W jack, but could also be an RJ12 or RJ13
jack. To connect the modem to the PSTN line, plug one end of
the RJ11 cable that is provided with the modem into the LINE
JACK connector and the other end into the phone-company-
provided RJ11C or RJ11W modular phone jack.
If you wish to have a telephone set connected to the same
telephone line for voice communications, you may plug a
telephone set into the modem's connector labeled
PHONE JACK
.
This connector is provided as a convenience. Simply plug one
end of the RJ11C's modular jack that is provided with the modem
into the modem's
PHONE JACK
connector and the other end into
the telephone's RJ11C's connector. Note: Any cables connected
to the computer must be shielded to reduce interference.
8 Turn power on to your computer.
Is Your MT2834ZPX Ready for Use?As soon as you connected power to the modem, if you’re an
experienced modem user, you may simply want to check your
modem’s settings for data compression, error correction, and so on.
You may find that you can get moving quite quickly if you just issue an
ATL5, ATL6
and an
ATL7
command. These commands lists how
your modem is currently configured. If you come across a setting
you’re unsure of, refer to Chapters 3 and 4 of this manual for AT
command and S-Register explanations and defaults.
If you’re a novice, please continue to the next sections of this chapter.
