The easy way would be to get a communication cable for port 1. This port is always fixed at 9600 baud and odd parity.

Port 1 of the PLC is NOT for a modem connection. It is a serial port. Connecting this port to your modem will not work. You need to purchase the D2-DSCBL cable from Automationdirect to connect from the 9 pin serial port of your laptop to the RJ12 port of the PLC.
It is possible that you have damaged the port of the PLC with this connection.

Or make your own cable by following the wiring diagram in the manual.
