6 GB-Ware Firewall Product Guide

Modem/ISDN TA Hardware

GTA recommends configuring the modem or ISDN TA on another system before installing it on GB-Ware. Most modems allow the storage of a user configuration and the recall of this configuration using a specific command (e.g. ATZ). It is usually easiest to configure the modem before installa- tion, and then to recall that configuration and set the modem with a few commands.

Note

The default configuration for most modems will generally work with GB-Ware.

You should configure the modem to use a fixed DTE speed (the speed at which the computer talks to the modem). If the modem supports DTE speeds of 38,400 or 57,600 baud, use whichever of these values will ensure the highest throughput. Configure your serial port to the highest possible speed when using an ISDN TA. Unless you wish to connect at a specific speed, set DCE (the speed at which the modem talks to a remote modem) to auto-negotiate.

Cable Modems and xDSL Hardware

Cable modems and DSL (ADSL etc.) configurations utilize a passive inter- connection device (cable modem, xDSL box) that is typically connected to an Ethernet network interface card via a special network patch cable (crossover cable).

Support

Installation ("up and running") support is available to registered users.
