MT5600ZDX/ZDXV Quick Start Guide

Installation

In addition to the contents of the MultiModemZDX package, you will need the
following equipment.
Computer
The MultiModemZDX can be connected to any computer with an RS-232 serial port.
Note that your computer system should have a processor speed of at least 75 MHz
in order to take full advantage of the telephony features of this product.
Serial Cable
A serial cable is necessary to connect the MultiModemZDX to your computer. 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 aDB-9S connector, depending on your
particular computer and whether you are using the COM1 or the COM2 serial port.
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.

Safety Warnings

specifically designed for wet locations.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
