in its documentation. The opposite end of the modem’s data cable should be a DB9 female serial connection. Connect that end of the cable to the Serial connection on the rear panel of the SVxx41HDIE.

Modem configuration

Although most connections will work appropriately with the default settings on SVxx41HDIE, manual changes can be made. To do so:

Login to the Web interface as Admin. Click Modem, listed on the left side of the main page. You will then be presented with the Modem Option menu (see above). Make the following changes to enable and configure the modem connection.

•Enable modem connections (PPP) via serial port/modem: select Enabled.

•Baud rate to use (affects connection between us and the modem only): select 115200.

•Init string: leave as ATE0S0=1&K3 (see below).

The baud rate dictates the connection speed between the SVxx41HDIE’s serial port and the modem, and does not affect the connection speed between the local and remote modems, as they will negotiate their own connection speed when a connection is made. It is highly recommended that this setting be left at the default for best performance.

The initialization (“init”) string is the command (using the standardized Hayes AT command set) that the SVxx41HDIE will send to the modem to activate it. The string included should work with the majority of modems and configures the following connection properties: answer incoming calls on the first ring, enable hardware flow control, and lock the connection speed. Your modem’s documentation will describe other potential init strings that you can use to alter the connection properties. For instance, you could commit the settings to the modem’s non-volatile memory (NVRAM) or allow the modem to adjust the connection speed for greater stability (and so on). You may wish to test the connection with the default init string first, before making changes specific to your modem model or situation, to simplify the troubleshooting process.

Click the Commit button to save your changes and activate the modem feature with the specified settings.

Configuring the Remote Connection

This section describes how to configure a typical Windows dial-up session to access the modem connection on the SVxx41HDIE. The instructions here relate to a Windows XP configuration; other versions of Windows are similar.

1.Open My Network Places from the desktop or the Start menu.

2.Click View network connections.

3.Click Create a new connection under Network Tasks.

4.The New Connection Wizard window will open. Click Next.
