Modem/ISDN port

The AdderView CATx IP models provide a serial port to allow you to connect either a modem or ISDN terminal adapter. This can be used as a primary, secondary or backup access port for global users, as best suits your overall configuration.

IMPORTANT: When the AdderView CATx IP is accessible from the public Internet or dial up connection, you must ensure that sufficient security measures are employed.

Note: On non-IP models, the COM2/MODEM port is reserved for the support of future features.

To connect a modem or ISDN adapter

1If possible, disconnect power from the AdderView CATx IP and the modem or ISDN adapter.

2Connect a suitable serial modem (non-crossover) cable to the serial port on the modem/ISDN adapter.

3Connect the other end of the serial cable to the port labelled COM2 at the rear of the AdderView CATx IP.

Note: The default serial port speed is 115200 and a standard Hayes-compatible auto-answer string is sent during startup. The default startup string is ‘ATZS0=1’. Both the serial port speed and startup string settings can easily be altered during configuration - see Initial IP configuration for more details. The other serial settings are fixed at: No parity, 8 bit word and 1 stop bit.
