into a standard telephone
wall jack.
IMPORTANT: Wall jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble
standard telephone jacks but are not compatible with analog
devices such as modems. Be sure the modem cable is
connected to a regular analog phone line. Plugging the modem
into a digital line will result in no dial tone and is not
recommended. The modem includes protective circuitry
against the digital lines producing excess current. A warning
buzz will sound briefly when excessive current is detected
during a call attempt and the attempt is terminated with the
phone line back on-hook.
Setting up the Modem

is not installed. If your modem is installed, the name will display
