A Class II fax modem device is required for use with the CompuFax product. The MultiTech MT2834ZDX

modem device.

1.2.2 Modem Cabling

A standard serial modem cable can be used to connect the modem to the terminal server (LAT) or hard-wired
terminal port (TX, TT, etc.). The following signal lines must be connected:

Pin 2 Transmit
Pin 3 Receive
Pin 7 Signal Ground

configured correctly. These terminal parameters will be the same whether the modem device is connected to a
DEC server or to a direct-connect port (TX, TT, etc.). Use the examples shown here as the proper setting of
the port characteristics.
