Figure 6-25. Serial Port

The IP-KVM switch Serial Settings (Figure 6-25) 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 (see Table 4-1 ).

Modem

The IP-KVM switch 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 IP-KVM switch .

Logically, connecting to the IP-KVM switch using a telephone line means nothing else than building up a dedicated point-to-point connection from your console computer to the IP-KVM switch. In other words, the IP-KVM switch 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 IP-KVM switch, make sure to 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 the remote access to the IP-KVM switch using a modem. The meaning of each parameter will be described below. The modem settings are part of the serial settings panel.
