IP Access Configuration & Operation

 

 

 

Serial Port

The P16-IP Serial Settings allow you to specify what device is connected to the serial port and how to use it.

Configuration or console login

Do not use the serial port for any special function; use it only for the initial configuration

Modem

The P16-IP offers remote access using a telephone line in addition to the standard access over the built-in Ethernet adapter. The modem needs to be connected to the serial interface of the P16-IP.

Connecting to the P16-IP using a telephone line allows you to set up a dedicated point-to-point connection from your console computer to the P16-IP. In other words, the P16-IP acts as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to which you can dial in. The connection is established using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Before you connect to the P16-IP, make sure you configure your console computer accordingly. For instance, on Windows based operating systems you can configure a dial-up network connection, which defaults to the right settings like PPP.

The Modem Settings panel allows you to configure remote access to the P16-IP using a modem. The meaning of each parameter will be described below. The modem settings are part of the serial settings panel.

￿Serial line speed

The speed the P16-IP is communicating with the modem. Most modems available today will support the default value of 115200 bps. In case you are using an old modem and discovering problems try to lower this speed.
