Modem and network (LAN)
There are two ports on the rear of your Advent PC that look
very similar. However, they perform different functions. It is
important that you know the difference in order to avoid
confusion later on.
The first of these is the Modem (RJ-11 port).
This port connects to your phone line and
allows you to connect to the Internet, and
send and receive faxes. Fig.4 shows a
modem port.
You should connect your phone line to the
port labelled ‘Line’. Always try to connect
your modem to the wall socket, not an
extension cable. This allows for a better
signal. You can then connect your telephone
handset to the port labelled ‘Phone’ if you wish and the port
is available (not supplied on all modems).

The network or LAN port looks like the
one shown in Fig. 5 . Don’t confuse this
with the modem port which looks very
similar. The LAN port allows you to
connect to other computers in your
home / office to share files and an
Internet connection.
