A cable with a RJ12 jack at both ends is supplied with the FP Modem-EU. One end connects to
the FP Modem-EU the other end to the dial-up, leased line or multipoint network. For
connections to European public dial-up networks a special, national RJ12 adapter is needed.

The RJ12 connector labeled ’COM.LINE’ is used to connect the FP Modem-EU to the
communication line. Use a telephone jack (RJ12) for connecting the FP Modem-EU to the:
• dial-up telephone system (PSTN or PBX) or
• 2-wire leased line or
• private multipoint cable network
Only the middle two pins of the RJ12 connector are used for the communication line connection.
The polarity of the middle two pins does not matter.
