Setting up for communications
To communicate across the telephone lines with another
computer, you need:
❖ The computer’s modem
❖ A telephone line
❖ An Internet Service Provider (ISP)
To connect to the Internet, you need a Web browser, such as
Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer.
Connecting the modem to a phone line
Your computer comes with a built-in modem. To use the
modem, you must connect it to a standard voice-grade RJ11
telephone line.
Due to FCC limitations, speeds of 53 kbps are the maximum
permissible rates during downloads. Actual data transmission
speeds will vary depending on line conditions.
1 Attach one end of a standard RJ11 telephone cable to the
modem port.
2 Plug the other end of the RJ11 telephone cable into the
modular jack of a standard voice-grade telephone line.
For more detailed information regarding your computer’s
modem, visit Toshiba’s Web site at toshiba.com.
Connecting your computer to a network
