Using a Phone Line

If your telephone has two modular jacks, connect it as illustrated below.
Notes on the Telephone Line
❑ The internal fax modem can be connected to the subscriber telephone line.
Do not connect it to the PBX (Private Branch Exchange). Connecting to the
PBX may cause a failure or fire.
❑ Some PBXs may use the same electric requirements as the subscriber
telephone line of the local telephone company. Ask the manufacturer of your
PBX or your PBX maintenance agent for compatibility.
❑ The internal modem of your notebook is set to hang up if the called party
does not answer within 60 seconds. You may change this length to less than
30 seconds, which, however, may prevent a connection from being
established due to some delays caused by the telephone switch. It is advised
to set the length to 30 seconds or more.
❑ If your Internet service provider supports V.90 or 56K, communications of
up to 53 Kbps are available. This may vary, depending on the telephone line
condition.
❑ If you use a splitter to branch the telephone line, the internal fax modem may
not operate successfully.
❑ Select the appropriate mode adopted in your country. You can select it from
the Modem Properties dialog box.
