Figure 2.6. Connecting the modem with a telephone.
The
telephone in
the
above
described
procedure
is
optional. Its connection
is
simply for the operator's conven-
ience.
It
does not play a
part
in the modem's operation.
You
may connect the modem
to
the wall receptacle using any
approved modular style telephone cord. In any case, the
modem can be permanently attached
to
the telephone system.
When not in use, the modem will act like a telephone extension
which
is
hung up.
It
should not interfere with normal telephone
business.
If
you utilize
another
type
of
modem, follow the installa-
tion instructions which came with
that
unit. The general
procedure remains the same. The modem will require a separ-
ate power connection, a
data
connection with the Mac,
and
a
telephone connection. Some modems come with a power con-
verter which changes the standard outlet voltage to a voltage
specified for
that modem. These non-Apple modems may
require special cable adapters to interface with the Mac.
