Internet 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" on page 51 if you are connecting through a LAN. Check with your ISP for specifics on your connection. Note: Your PC 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 inside the PC. The setup poster shows you how to plug in a modem/telephone cable to the PC modem connector and the telephone wall socket. To identify the modem connector, look at the back panel of the PC. The modem looks similar to one of the following illustrations. Note: Your PC may have only one modem/telephone connection. Or Modem connector Your PC may also have a network interface that uses an RJ-45 port and network cable to connect to a LAN (local area network). Although it looks similar to the RJ-11 modem connector, the RJ-45 network connector is not the same. Refer to "Setting Up the Network Interface" on page 51. Quick Start Guide 49
