Connecting your internal modem

The Express Modem hardware in your PowerBook or
PowerBook Duo and, in some configurations, the GeoPort
Internal Modem hardware are installed either at the factory
or, if purchased separately, by your Apple-authorized service
provider.
In order to use your modem, you need to connect it to an
analog telephone line using the supplied telephone cord.
To connect the modem to a telephone line

1

Plug one end of the phone cord into the appropriate port on
your computer.
Refer to your Macintosh user’s manual for the location of the
correct port.

2

Plug the other end of the phone cord into your telephone
wall socket.
Once the modem is connected to your telephone line, you
are ready to install the software (if it is not already installed).
See: Chapter 2, “Installing Your Software.”

Important

If you have a GeoPort Internal Modem installed

in your computer, do not connect anything to the external
modem port because only the installed modem is active. Any
program that reads or writes to the external modem port is
redirected to the internal modem.
