Modem jack

In areas where an internal modem is installed as

standard equipment, there is a modem jack that

lets you use a modular cable to connect the

modem directly to a telephone line.

In case of a lightning storm, unplug the modem cable from the

telephone jack.

Do not connect the modem to a digital telephone line. A digital line will

damage the modem.

has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10
