To install your modem:

1.Attach modem to dial-up phone line using the RJ11 telephone cord provided with it. Plug one cable end into the telephone jack; plug the other cable end into the LINE jack on the modem.

NOTE

The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE jack (see rear of modem, Figure 2-2). Do not plug the telephone into the LINE jack or the line cable into the PHONE jack. BABT regulations require that the telecommunication cable be connected to the modem prior to being connected to the network.

2.Attach the modem to your PC or terminal with an RS232 (or V.24) cable (see Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2). Be sure to tighten the mounting screws on the DB connectors.

3.Connect your telephone set to the phone jack using the RJ11 cable.

4.Attach the modem to the AC Power transformer and plug the AC connector

into a live AC outlet.

NOTEUse only the power supply shipped with the modem. Use of any other power supply will void the warranty and could damage the modem.
