Fax Modem  (250-3581)  Connecting The Telephone Line   Faxback Doc. # 5785

Use the following procedure to connect your modem to the telephone line:

1.  After providing your local telephone company with necessary
    information, make sure you have one of the following standard
    modular jacks:

    *RJ11C

If you need another modular jack, either obtain a telephone adapter from a
telephone or electronics store and follow the installation instructions
provided with the adapter, or have your local telephone company replace
your existing telephone jack with a modular-type jack and your existing
telephone cord with a modular cord.

2.  Unplug your telephone's cable from the wall jack.

3.  Take one end of the modular telephone cable supplied with the modem
    and plug it into the LIN Emodular jack on the side of the notebook.

4.  Plug the other end of the telephone cord into the telephone jack on
    the wall (as you would any modular telephone).

5.  Load your communications software and place computer into terminal (or
    direct) mode.  You must select the proper modem port.  Refer to your
    computer manual to find out the appropriate command to use.

6.  Type AT and press the ENTER key.

If your system is operating properly, your modem sends an OK response to
your screen and waits for your next command.

If you did not receive a response, make sure your computer is sending
commands properly, contact your computer dealer.
