Setting Up the Modem
The modem is used for connecting to an ISP
that provides telephone dial-up connection to
the Internet. There are other ways to connect to
the ISP that do not use the telephone modem,
such as a LAN (local area network) or DSL
(Digital Subscriber Line). See “Setting Up the
Network Interface Adapter” on page 39 if you
are connecting through a LAN. Check with your
ISP for specifics on your connection.
Note:
Your computer may not come with a modem.
Before you can connect to the Internet and send
or receive e-mail and faxes using telephone
dial-up, you must connect your telephone service
line to the modem, which is in the computer.
The setup poster shows you how to plug in a
modem/telephone cable to the computer modem
connector and to your telephone service line wall
jack connector.
To identify the modem connector, look at the
back panel of the computer. The modem looks
similar to one of the following illustrations.
Note:
Your computer may have only one
modem/telephone connection.
