CHAPTER 5
Communication Functions
Your computer has two important features that let you establish communications
with other computers and devices. The built-in modem lets you connect to the
telephone system so that you can communicate with the whole world through the
internet, e-mail, etc,. The built-in LAN adapter lets you join your computer to a local
network for sharing data.
Built-in Modem
(may not be available in some countries)
You can use the built-in modem for data transfer, or use it to establish a dial-up
connection to the internet through an Internet Service Provider.
•
The built-in modem on your computer is designed for regular
analog telephone lines. The modem may be damaged if it is
connected to a digital ISDN terminal or a digital PBX.
•
If an unusual device is attached to the line you are connecting to,
the modem may not function properly. Remove the device or
contact the dealer of the device.
•
Before connecting to a PBX, consult the PBX maintenance staff
or its service company. If the electric characteristics of your PBX
are different from those of a regular analog line, the modem will
not function properly. If you connect the modem to a digital PBX,
both the modem and the PBX may be damaged.
Connecting the Modem to a Telephone Line
Connect your modem to a telephone line as follows:
1.
Turn off your computer.
2.
Locate the modem jack on the left side of your computer.
