Models MT5600ZDX & ZDXV

Installation

In addition to the contents of the modem package, you will need the following equipment.

Computer

The modem can be connected to any computer with an RS-232 serial port. For MT5600ZDXV modems, the computer’s processor speed should be at least 75 MHz in order to take full advantage ZDXV telephony features.

Serial Cable

You must provide a serial cable to connect the modem to your computer. Serial cables are available at computer stores and many office supply stores. The cable must have a DB-25P connector at the modem end. For IBM and compatible computers, the other end may have a DB-25P connector or a DB-9S connector, depending on your particular computer and whether you are using the COM1 or the COM2 serial port. The FCC requires cables to be shielded.
