Connecting the CM COM Port to a Modem
To connect a modem to the CM COM port (Figure 3‐28), use a UTP cable with RJ45 connectors and a user‐supplied RJ45‐to‐DB25 male adapter, and proceed as follows:
1.Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable to the COM port of the CM.
2.Plug the RJ45 connector at the other cable end into a user‐supplied, RJ45‐to‐DB25 modem adapter.
3.Connect the RJ45‐to‐DB25 adapter to the communications port on the modem.
4.Turn on the modem.
5.With a PC connected to a remote modem, you can configure the switch remotely. To do so, you must configure your PC VT emulation package with these parameters.
