Making Connections
Using the Modem
58 Reference Guide
2. Connect a telephone cord with an RJ-11 plug to the built-in modem. If the plug on the
phone cord doesn’t fit the modem jack, you may need to buy an adapter.
3. Check your modem’s country or region settings:
Windows ME, 95, or 98: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click
Modems, then click Dialing Properties.
Windows 2000: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Phone and
Modem Options, then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
CAUTION
Your built-in modem may not work with multiple phone lines or a private branch
exchange (PBX), cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and does not
work with party lines. Some of these connections may result in excess electrical
voltage and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem. Check your
telephone line type prior to connecting your phone line.
Special restrictions in certain countries
In France, if you want to access the MiniTel system, you need MiniTel emulator
software. If your computer was purchased in France, it includes the TimTel Light
software. If your computer does not include TimTel Light, you must purchase
emulator software separately.
The pulse dialing feature may be disabled in certain countries, possibly because Loop
Disconnect is not certified there. If pulse dialing is disabled, you should use tone
dialing connections only.
