Aptiva - 2144/2168 (SL-C) Diagnostics - Fax/Modem adapter

Applicable to: World-Wide

Note: Modems that are factory-installed in IBM Aptiva SL-C system units
are fax/modems with a cable and connector to enable Wake Up on Ring
software. Models with voice modems installed also have a voice
modem cable connected to the sound adapter card.

If the factory-installed modem has been replaced with a different
internal modem, Wake Up on Ring may not be supported unless the
replacement modem has a 2-pin Wake Up on Ring keyed connector (see
"Factory-Installed Modem Jumper and Switch Settings" in topic 5.3).
