reference.

Connect the faxmodem-to-computer serial cable. Plug one
end of the cable into the matching connector on the back of
your modem, and plug the other end of the cable into your
computer’s serial port. Some cables have an extra
connector; you should leave one unconnected. Tighten the
screws at both ends. Make a note of the COM port you plug
the modem into.
3
Connect the telephone cord. Plug one end of the cord into
the phone line jack on the back of the faxmodem. Then
plug the other end into the wall jack just as you would a
standard telephone. Note: If you do not use the supplied
telecommunications cord, use an equivalent of minimum
AWG 26 line cord.
