controls (Section 2.2).
2.1 Installation
2.1.1 U NPACKING
Many early modem failures are a result of damage done during shipping.
Visually inspect your modem. Keep the original shipping carton in case
you have to return the modem for any reason.
2.1.2 P ACKAGE C ONTENTS
All models include the following cables:
• A two-conductor crossover cable for a dial-line connection.
• A four-conductor cable for a leased-line connection.
Both cables have an eight-pin modular connector (RJ-45) on one end and
a six-pin modular connector (RJ-12) on the other end. You will need to use
both of the supplied cables if you want to use the Modem for Leased-Line
Auto Recovery, which requires both a leased-line and dial-line connection.
The MD885A-R2, MD885AE-R2, and MD885A-R3 include a power supply.
The MD885A-R3 package also includes additional cables:
• (1) 10-ft. RS-232 cable
• (1) DB9 F to DB25 M adapter

• You will need an EIA RS-232 interface cable (supplied with the MD885A-

connect the Modem to a DTE (data terminal equipment, usually a
computer).
