Connecting a modem to a USB port

An external modem may be connected to the S8300 Media Server through a universal serial bus (USB) connection, providing dial-up access. The modem requires an analog line to the remote location.

NOTE: Note: The modem type is not optional, and must be the specific modem that is shipped with the S8300.

To connect the external modem to a USB port on the S8300 Media Server:

1. Connect one end of the modem's USB cable to an available USB port on the S8300 Media Server's faceplate. Either USB1 or USB2 can be used.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the external modem.
3. Connect the modem to an analog line.

NOTE: Note: The modem that is shipped with the S8300 obtains its power from the ISB interface. There is no power connection.

4. Verify operation as instructed by the modem's documentation.
