Modem Installation
Connect the Modem to Your System
Turn off your computer. Place the modem in a convenient location, and
then connect it to your computer’s serial port, the phone line, AC power,
and your phone.
Connections – No Voice
Connections with voice
Connect the Modem to Your PC
Plug one end of the RS-232 serial cable into the RS-232 connector on
the modem, and plug the other end into a serial port connector on your
computer, such as COM1 or COM2.
Connect the Modem to the Telephone Line
Plug one end of the provided telephone cable into the modem’s LINE
jack, and the other end into a telephone wall jack. This is the only
required connection.
Important: The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE
jack. Do not plug the phone into the LINE jack or the line cable into
the PHONE jack.
Note: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Industry Canada impose certain restrictions on equipment
connected to public telephone systems.
Connect the Two-Wire Lease Line (Leased-Line Only)
For leased line information, see the User Guide, available on your
MultiModem Product CD.

Connect the Modem to the Phone (Optional)
If you want to connect a phone to the same line as the modem, plug
the phone cable into the modem PHONE jack.
Connect the Microphone (Voice Option Only)
To connect a microphone, see the User Guide, available on your
MultiModem Product CD.
Connect the Speaker(s) (Voice Option Only)
For speakerphone or voice mail applications, use a 1/8-inch plug male-
to-male stereo patch cord to connect the SPKR jack on the side of the
modem to the LINE IN jack on your sound card. If your sound card does
not have a LINE IN jack, use its MIC jack. The stereo male-to-male
patch cord can be purchased at a local PC retail store. If you do not
have a sound card, you can plug an amplified speaker directly into the
SPKR jack.
Connect the Modem to the AC Power Outlet
The power switch is located on the right side of the modem. Make sure it
is set to OFF.
Attach the appropriate interchangeable blade module to the power
supply module. Connect the power lead from the power supply module
into the PWR jack on the modem. Now, plug the power supply module
into your power source.
Note: Use only the power supply supplied with the modem. Use of any
other power supply voids the warranty and can damage the modem.
Power-on Test
When you apply power, the modem performs a diagnostic self-test. The
56 indicator should light. If this does not happen, check that the power
switch is on, the power supply is solidly connected, and the AC outlet is
live.
Installing the Modem Driver
If you use Windows 2000 or newer, you must install the modem driver.
The modem driver tells Windows how to control the modem. If you use a
Linux operating system, please see the User Guide for installation
instructions.
