Scenario 4: Digital telephone service through a cable provider
Setup 1: Printer is connected directly to a cable modem
Follow this setup if you normally connect your telephone to a cable modem.
Tips for this setup:
Connect the printer to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the cable modem. The port labeled
Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. You may need to pay extra to your cable provider if you want to
activate the second phone port.
To make sure that the phone port on the cable modem is active, plug an analog telephone into the phone port,
and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active.
If you need two phone ports for your devices but do not want to pay extra, then do not plug the printer into the
second phone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line 1 or Phone
Port , and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.
Note: Make sure you use a phone splitter, not a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct splitter,
plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.
