Fax/Modem Jacks (fax/modem models)
Some multimedia models come with a fax/modem board
installed. Fax/modem jacks on the board connect the
system’s fax/modem to a telephone line for fax and data
transfers. The two RJ11 phone jacks let you connect the
modem and a telephone to the same telephone line.
The fax/modem provides the up to 14,400 bits per second
(bps) data transmissions and 14,400/12,000 bps trans-
mit/receive fax communications.
The fax/modem is assigned as COM3 from the factory. See
your Fax/Modem User’s Guide for fax/modem COM port
and interrupt assignments.
See “Fax/Modem” in Chapter 5 for information about
connecting the fax/modem to a telephone line. See the
Fax/Modem User’s Guide for using the fax/modem.
