In addition to the items supplied with the modem, you may need the following:

 

 

 

 

 

Communications Software Package

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many modem applications are controlled by communications software that

 

 

 

 

 

 

supports serial communications. When connecting a modem to a terminal,

 

 

 

 

 

 

communications software is unnecessary. (Refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 for

 

 

 

 

 

 

more information.)

 

 

 

 

 

Serial Cable

 

 

 

 

 

 

A shielded, straight-through modem-to-terminal cable, data communications

 

 

 

 

 

 

equipment (DCE) to data terminal equipment (DTE) cable, is required.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cable must have a 25-pin D male connector and a DTE connector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For modem-to-modem (or other DCE-DCE connection), use a crossover cable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cable must support the modem signaling your application requires. Select a

 

 

 

 

 

 

cable based on your computer and the DTE pin assignments in Appendix B.

Choosing a Site

Where you place the modem can affect its operation. To enhance performance:

Install the modem in a clean, well-lighted area that is free from temperature extremes and dust.

Do not place anything on top of a modem.

Locate the modem no more than the EIA-recommended distance from a DTE and within 6 feet (1.83m) of a grounded AC power outlet.

Do not place anything within 1 inch (2.54 cm) of either side of a modem. Also, to prevent overheating, do not place a modem on its side.

Refer to Appendix C for site requirements for operating the modem in your country.
