freeView IP 800 User’s Manual

The Modem Settings panel sets the parameters used by the client to connect to the device. An explanation of the parameters is included below.

•Serial line speed: The speed the freeView IP 800 uses to communicate with the modem. Most modems available today will support the default value of 115200 bps. If an older modem is used and problems occur, try lowering this value.

•Modem init string: The initialization string used by the freeView IP 800 to initialize the modem. The default value will work with all standard modern modems directly connected to a telephone line. If a special modem is used or if the modem is connected to a local telephone switch that requires a special dial sequence to establish a connection to the public telephone network, change this setting by entering the correct a new string. Refer to the modem's manual about the AT command syntax to use.

•Modem server IP address: This IP address will be assigned to the freeView IP 800 itself during the PPP handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection, almost any IP address is permitted, but it cannot be the same as the Ethernet connection of the device or the client. The default value will work in most cases.

•Modem client IP address: This IP address will be assigned to the console computer during the PPP handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection, almost any IP address is permitted, but it cannot be the same as the Ethernet connection of the device or the client. The default value will work in most cases.

Pass-through access to serial port via Telnet: If this option is enabled, a device with a serial interface (e.g. a managed switch) can be controlled by the local computer. Select the appropriate options for the serial port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the device.
