VIKING COMPONENTS 56K EXTERNAL MODEM USER’S GUIDE
Phone Line Requirements
The phone line required by the Viking Components fax/modem is an analog RJ-
11. This is a standard residential phone line.
Warning: Do not use a PBX or digital phone line. These phone lines may
damage the Viking Components External fax/modem or phone equipment.
PBX or digital lines are used by many businesses for their phone systems. To
determine if the line you wish to use is analog, look on the jack or the phone. If it
says “analog,”“computer,”“data” or “modem,” it is an analog line. If you are in an
office and the phone is not labeled, check with the phone system administrator.
If you are in a hotel, call the hotel operator for more information.
Communications Software requirements
Please refer to the communication software “User Guide” for additional system
requirements for installing the communication software.
