Your computer may come with a built-in modem that can be
connected to a standard voice-grade telephone line.
The modem allows you to:
❖
Access the Internet
❖
Communicate with your office’s local area network (LAN) or
larger corporate wide area network (WAN)
For specific information about connecting to a LAN or WAN,
consult your network administrator.
❖
Send a fax directly from your computer

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.
