Connecting the modem to a telephone line
Before you can communicate using the modem, you need to
connect it to a telephone line. Your computer’s built-in
modem port provides an RJ-11 jack, allowing you to connect
the modem to a standard voice-grade telephone line.
1 Plug one end of a telephone cable (purchased separately) into
the modem port on the back of the computer.
2 Connect the other end to an RJ-11 wall jack.
The modem is designed for use with a standard analog
telephone line. Do not connect the modem to a digital
telephone line. A digital line will damage the modem.
Now you are ready to send a fax or use the modem to connect
to an online service or the Internet.
For more detailed information regarding your computer’s
modem, visit Toshiba’s Web site at accessories.toshiba.com.

on your computer. For specific information about
connecting to the network, consult your network
administrator.

up connection. Ask your network administrator for the
telephone number of the network.
