Modem for Sending Calls Only 9
You can set up a modem to dial out only (see Figure 9-12). With this modem and a terminal you
can connect to computer bulletin boards and other data services. The telephone shown is optional
and can be used if you want the terminal to share an extension with a telephone.
Figure 9-12. Modem for Sending Only
Follow the modem manufacturer’s instructions to use the modem.
Modems can connect directly to an extension jack without an adapter. However, if you
connect a high-speed modem through the control unit, you may experience some
degradation of efficiency and throughput, depending on the quality of the central office
lines connected to the system. To solve the problem, either connect modems directly to
the network interface jacks, or contact your local telephone company for information
about upgrading line quality.
