Connecting the modem to a telephone line
Your computer comes 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.
For more detailed information regarding your computer’s
modem, visit Toshiba’s Web 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, which allows 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 right side of the computer.
