Connecting the USB modems
!
WARNING:
Once you cable the modems to the media servers, do not unplug the modem USB cable on the
active server. If the modem must be replaced, replace it when the media server is in standby mode.
NOTE:
USB and serial modems cannot connect to rotary lines. A TouchTone line is required.
When you configure the media server, you set the modem options. No options are set on the modems
themselves.
Connecting to collocated servers
Both servers share one telephone line.

2 Connect the RJ11 jacks, one to each media server, using the modular telephone cord supplied with
the modem.
3 Connect one modem, using the USB cable supplied with the modem, to media server 1.
4 Connect the other modem, using the USB cable, to media server 2.
Connecting to separated servers
Each server has a dedicated telephone line.

location.
2 Connect the RJ11 jack to each media server, using the modular telephone cord supplied with the
modem.
3 Connect each modem, using the USB cable, to the media server at each location.
