Connecting a modem to a telephone line

(Available on certain models.)

Your computer may come with a built-in modem 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

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 side of the computer.
