Faxing 132 Scenario 4: Digital telephone service through a cable provider Setup 1: Scanner is connected directly to a cable modem 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with your scanner to the port of the scanner. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the cable modem. Note: The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. VoIP providers may charge additional cost for the activation of the second phone port. 3 Connect your analog telephone to the port of the scanner. Notes: • To make sure that the telephone port on the cable modem is active, plug an analog telephone into the telephone port, and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active. • If you need two telephone ports for your devices, but do not want to pay additional cost, then do not plug the scanner into the second telephone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port, and then plug the scanner and telephone into the splitter. • Make sure you use a phone splitter, not a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter, and then listen for a dial tone.
