3810Plus and 3820Plus Modem Installation

Before installing your standalone modem, make sure your installation site is clean and well-ventilated. Allow space around the modem for installing cables and telephone line cords, and make sure the modem is located within reach of the ac power outlet. The distance between your modem and DTE should be minimized if DTE data rates exceed 19,200 bps. Also, low capacitance cables may be necessary for speeds greater than 19,200 bps or distances greater than 50 feet.

The rear panel of a 3810Plus or 3820Plus modem has the following switches and connectors (see Figures 2-2 and 2-3):

An ON/Off power switch.
