Connecting your modem to a telephone line
Your computer comes with a built-in modem that can be 
connected to a standard voice-grade telephone line.
The modem allows you to:
Access the Internet
Communicate with your office’s local area network 
(LAN) or larger corporate wide area network (WAN)
For specific information about connecting to a LAN or 
WAN, consult your network administrator.

Connecting to a phone line
Before you can communicate using the modem, you need to 
connect it to a telephone line. Your computer’s built-in 
modem port provides an RJ-11 jack, allowing you to connect 
the modem to a standard voice-grade telephone line.
