Using the Modem feature

NOTE: Requires an RJ45 to DB9 adapter. Please see StarTech.com

part number(s): GC98FF (DB9 Female to RJ45 Female Adapter) or GC98MF (DB9 Male to RJ45 Female) as applicable.

Background

The modem feature allows the SVxx54DX4I to act as an Internet connection server for increased security and flexibility in connecting with the host computer.

Unlike the TCP/IP connection used with the standard Web configuration and VNC clients, the modem creates a one-to-one connection between the SVxx54DX4I and the computer you are using to manage the host computer that is essentially private, as it bypasses the public Internet completely.

Please note that this feature requires both an external modem (most standard connection protocols are supported) and a dedicated phone line that can be connected to the modem for external access. While it is possible to use the modem feature through some PBX systems, this increases the complexity and reduces the performance of the connection. For clarity, the instructions presented here assume that the modem is connected to a typical POTS (plain old telephone system) line that is not routed through a phone management system or shared with other devices. If you wish to use this feature through a PBX system, it may require some experimentation and additional support from your telecom services provider, and is not supported by StarTech.com.
