Attaching the modem
Attach the modem to the Organizer’s 15-pin computer-link jack as
shown in the diagram below. Use a straight male-to-male RS-232C
interface cable to connect the level converter to the modem plus the
null-modem adapter if you are using the CE-131T.

For more details on the connection to the phone line, refer to the
modem operation manual.
e Use of an improper modem cable may damage the RS-232C level
converter and/or the Organizer itself.
Setting up the Organizer
Both
the
modem
and
the
remote
system,
in
this
case
CompuServe,
have
certain
communications
protocols
which
must
be
observed
if
things
are
to
go
smoothly.
These
protocols,
and
some
other
options,
are
called
the
configuration
and
must
be
told
to
the
Organizer
before
attempting
to
link
up.
The
configurations
for
most
BBSs
and
IRSs
are
much
the
same
as
for
CompuServe
so
you
do
not
have
to
set
most
of
them.
If
you
need
to,
however,
there
are
more
detailed
technical
explanations
at
the
end
of
this chapter.
Once you have attached the modem, press OPTION] to display
the Option menu and select TERMINAL.
