Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and answering machine There are two different ways to set up the product with your computer based on the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports NOTE: If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.) Example of a parallel splitter To set up the product on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports Back view of the product 1 Telephone wall jack 2 "IN" phone port on your computer 3 "OUT" phone port on your computer 4 Telephone (optional) 5 Answering machine 6 Computer with modem 7 Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the device to connect to the 1- LINE port.
