Modem Setup

The Modem Setup group of menus configure the modems for usage with RAS, modem sharing, and faxing. The default usage for each modem is RAS. The Modem Setup menu controls the parameters of the modems set to RAS. If the MultiAccess modems are to be used for dialout, in a networking modem sharing environment, then use the Modem Usage menu to change the usage to Modem Sharing. If the MultiAccess modems are to be used for faxing with the integrated Hylafax™ Server, then use the Modem Usage menu to change the usage to Fax. The Fax Setup menu is used to configure the Hylafax Server for sending and receiving faxes.

Note: The MultiAccess modems also support faxing with fax servers that are external to the MultiAccess via the Modem Sharing usage.

Modem Usage

If you are using all your MultiAccess modems to provide dial-in PPP access, you do not have to modify the default Modem Usage settings. The default usage is RAS. If you plan to use all or part of your MultiAccess modems for dial-out, you will have to change the Modem usage settings for the selected modems to one of the Modem Sharing options that best fit your needs. If you plan to use some or all your modems for faxing, you will have to change the Modem Usage setting for the selected modems to Fax.

1.If you are using your MultiAccess in an RAS inbound PPP environment, you do not have to make any changes in the Modem Usage menu.

Note: When implementing a combination of usage options, care must be given so that inbound calls do not conflict with outbound calls. This may require changing the hunt group call distribution at the central office and should be addressed with the provider of your T1/E1 digital line.

Caution: Modem sharing is accomplished by implementing a Telnet interface to the MultiAccess modems. Make sure that care is taken to secure access to these ports via firewall or IP filter settings to prevent unauthorized use of your modem resources.
