Serial Cable

You must provide a serial cable to connect the MultiModemZDX to your

computer. Serial cables are available at computer stores and many office

supply stores. The cable must have a DB-25P connector at the modem end.

For IBM and compatible computers, the other end may have a DB-25P

connector or a DB-9S connector, depending on your particular computer

and whether you are using the COM1 or the COM2 serial port. The FCC

requires cables to be shielded.

DB-9

Telephone Line

You must have a telephone line with a conveniently located connector

(jack) to accept the cable that comes with the MultiModemZDX. If you

do not have a telephone jack near your computer, you should install an

extension before proceeding.

In North America, telephone extension kits and accessories are available

at electronics stores and wherever telephones are sold. You may also hire

an independent contractor or your local telephone company to do the

work. If you want to add a line for your MultiModemZDX fax modem,

you must contact your telephone company.
