6.4 Installing Phone Modem Communication Link
The phone modem is factory installed within the 6200 DCP enclosure. It is set at 9600 bps and
will only turn on when a phone call is detected. It powers off after 60 seconds of inactivity to
conserve power.
Connect standard 3-conductor phone wire (0.25 diameter) to the 3-pin connector located near the
bottom of the front panel inside the 6200 DCP. Direct the wire through one of the “feed-
through” glands provided with the system and connect the other end of the phone cable to a
telephone junction box (provided by user or local telephone company).
You must supply a compatible base station modem and the required telephone and serial cables.
This modem may be external to your computer or may be internally installed. Refer to Figure
6.11 below.
