Connecting the Internal Modem to the Telephone Line
The computer comes with an internal fax modem that allows you to exchange data by faxing through the Internet or faxing by connecting the computer to the telephone line using a phone cable (optional).
The maximum communication speed of the internal modem (V.90, 56K) is 56 Kbps for data reception and 33.6 Kbps for data transmission. This speed may vary depending on the line conditions.
✍Note: The internal fax modem can only be connected to a subscriber telephone line. Do not connect it to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange). Connecting to the PBX may cause a major system malfunction.
Check the dialing mode of your telephone by pressing any button on your telephone while holding the receiver off the base unit. If you hear a tone sound, your dialing mode is the tone mode.
