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 49 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 in the PC.
The setup poster shows you how to plug in a
modem/telephone cable to the PC modem
connector and to your telephone service line wall
socket connector.
To identify the modem connector, look at the back
