Connecting a modem to a telephone line
Your computer may come with a built-in modem (available on
certain models) that can be connected to a standard voice-grade
telephone line.
The modem allows you to:
❖Access the Internet
❖Communicate with your office’s local area network (LAN) or
larger corporate wide area network (WAN)
For specific information about connecting to a LAN or WAN,
consult your network administrator.
❖Send a fax directly from your computer
For more detailed information regarding your computer’s modem,
visit Toshiba’s W eb site at accessories.toshiba.com.
Before you can communicate using the modem, you need to
connect it to a telephone line. Your computer’s built-in modem port
provides an RJ-11 jack, allowing you to connect the modem to a
standard voice-grade telephone line.
1Plug one end of a telephone cable (purchased separately) into
the modem port on the back of the computer.
