Connecting to a Modem
To connect a modem to a switch modem port (Figure 3‐12), use a UTP cable terminated with a DB9 female connector and a DB25 male connector, and proceed as follows:
1.Connect the DB9 female connector at one end of the cable to the DB9 male Console port connector on the switch. (If there is a switch designated as the Manager, connect to its Console port.)
2.Plug the DB25 male connector at the other end of the cable into the modem communications port.
3.Turn on the modem and make sure the remote modem is ON.
4.With your PC connected to the remote modem, configure your VT emulation package with the following parameters:
