Welcome to 56K*Information Access

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
decides the technical protocols that
communications devices must use to operate with
each other. Modems that comply with ITU
standards can “talk” to other standards-compliant
modems and fax machines worldwide.
The ITU has determined a worldwide standard for
56K modem technology. With a 3Com
U.S. Robotics modem, you can get 56K Internet
access from any service provider who offers the
ITU V.90 standard or 3Com 56K technology.
3Com is working with providers everywhere to
quickly upgrade their service to the ITU V.90
standard.
∗In accordance with the ITU standard for V.90
transmissions, this modem is capable of 56 Kbps
downloads. However, the download speeds you
experience may be lower due to varying line
conditions and other factors. Uploads from users to
server equipment travel at speeds up to 31.2 Kbps.
An analogue phone line compatible with the ITU
V.90 standard or 3Com 56K technology, and an
Internet provider or corporate host site with the
ITU V.90 standard or 3Com 56K technology are

How to Connect the Modem
to the Computer
1. Turn off your computer and any attached
devices, such as a printer, monitor, keyboard,
and mouse.
2. Connect the serial cable to the modem and to
the computer. When looking for your serial port
on the back of your computer, look for ports
labeled COM, MODEM, RS-232, or SERIAL.
Do not select AUX, GAME, LPT, or
PARALLEL.
Remember which serial port you selected. This
information will be necessary when installing your
communications software.
3. Plug one end of the phone cord into the
TELCO socket and the other end into a phone
wallsocket.
The phone wall socket you use must be for an
ANALOGUE phone line. Most office phones are
wired through DIGITAL lines. Be sure you know
which type of line you have. The modem will be
damaged if you use a digital phone line.
4. Plug the power adaptor that came with the
modem into a standard wall socket and insert
its plug into the power socket on the modem.
5. If you want to use a telephone on the same line,
use a splitter arrangement. You cannot use the
modem and a phone at the same time if they
share the same telephone line.
