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 36 if you are
connecting through a LAN. Check with your
ISP for specifics on your connection.
Note:
Your computer 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 the telephone line to
the modem, which is in the computer.
The setup poster shows you how to plug in a
modem/telephone cable to the computer modem
connector and to your telephone line wall jack
connector.
