Required Equipment

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

Computer

Your modem can only be connected to a computer with a USB port.

Telephone Line

You must have a telephone line with jack (connector) that accepts the cable that comes with the modem. If you do not have a telephone jack near your computer, you should install one before proceeding.

Do-it-yourself telephone extension kits and accessories are available wherever telephones are sold. You may also hire an independent contractor or your local telephone company to install an extension. If you want a separate line for your fax modem, you must contact your telephone company.

Communications Software

To operate your modem, you must have data communications and fax communications software. Data communications software simplifies control of the modem by guiding you through the process of selecting your serial port, your port speed, and other variables, and then storing your settings, including frequently called phone numbers, so they can be recalled with the stroke of a key or the click of a mouse. Data communications software must be set up (or configured) before you can use it.
