Hardware Installation

Connecting to the Telephone Network with a Direct Cable Connection

The Trumpcard Modem may be directly connected to either a standard land based telephone line or to a cellular telephone using the cellular option kit. For cellular installation, refer to the installation instructions accompanying the cellular option kit.

To directly connect the Trumpcard to a standard land based telephone line follow these steps:

Locate the modular cable that has a male RJ-12 connector at one end and a PCMCIA Modem Adapter connector at the other.

For a multi-function Trumpcard, the Modem connection is identified on the back of the PC Card; insert the PCMCIA Modem adapter connector into the one marked Modem.

Connect the male RJ-12 connector into the telephone line outlet. If you wish to have both a telephone and the Trumpcard Modem connected to a single telephone line outlet, then a telephone Y-connector is required.

Note:

only. If you feel resistance before the connector is fully inserted,

 

 

remove the connector, turn it over, and re-insert it.
