BEFORE you connect your modem. Consult your PBX
manufacturer’s documentation for more information.

The internal modem is designed to the ITU-T V.90
standard. Its maximum speed of 53000bps is the
highest allowed by the FCC, and its actual connection
rate depends on the line conditions. The maximum
speed is 33600bps at upload.

P O I N T

The 1394 port in this system uses a four-pin
configuration. If you intend to interface with devices
which have a six-pin configuration, you will need to
purchase an adapter.
