To connect the cable between the modem and the telephone service line:
1 Plug one end of a modem cable (D) into the modem connector (A) on the back
of the PC (C). This connector may be labeled with either Line or a modem
connector symbol.
2 Plug the other end of the cable (D) into the telephone service line jack (E) on
the wall.
You can also connect a telephone (F) to the other connector (B) on the modem
(select models only). By connecting a telephone to the modem, you can make
regular (voice) telephone calls when you are not using the modem — even if the
PC is turned off.
upgrading your 56k modem
Your modem driver can be upgraded to enable certain V.92 features. For
information, go to the Support Web site listed in the Warranty & Support Guide,
click the support link, type modem upgrade into the Search box, and then click the
arrow to the right of the box. Follow the instructions provided.
NOTE: Your ISP must support the V.92 standard to use any of the V.92 features.
setting up the ethernet connection
The Ethernet connection (may be called a network interface adapter, a Network
Interface Card, or NIC) provides a high-speed, or broadband, connection to an
Ethernet (10BaseT) or Fast Ethernet (100BaseT) network. After this interface is
connected to a network such as a LAN (local area network), you can connect to
the Internet through the LAN. This network connection also allows you to share
printers, data, and other devices among your PCs.
NOTE: Your PC may not come with an Ethernet connector.
Locate the Ethernet connector (a RJ-45 port) on the back of the PC.
