Using the modem
Your VAIO desktop is equipped with an internal modem. You need to connect a phone line to take
advantage of online services and the Internet, to register your computer and software online, and to contact
VAIO-Link.
To connect a phone line, proceed as follows:
1 Plug one end of the supplied phone cable into the LINE port on the back of the computer.
2 Plug the other end into the wall jack.
A country-specific phone plug is supplied with your VAIO desktop, allowing
you to plug the phone line into the wall jack. We recommend you to use the
supplied plug, because the usage of any other phone plug can decrease the
connection quality.
Your computer cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and may not
work with multiple phone lines or a private branch exchange (PBX). If you
connect the modem to a parallel connected phone line, the modem or the other
connected device may not function properly. Some of these connections may
result in excess electrical current and could cause a malfunction in the internal
modem.
Only DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) signalling (tone dialling) is supported.
