ŠOn the remote computer side, use a standard 9 pin serial modem cable (pin 2 to pin 2; pin 3 to pin 3) to connect the computer to the modem.

ŠOn the SN0108 / SN0116 side, use Cat 5 cable and an RJ-45 to Serial adapter to connect a modem to any of its serial ports (see theSN0108D / SN0116D PC Installation Diagram:, page 14). Also see RJ-45 to Serial Adapters, page 96, for details on choosing the appropriate adapter. The usual choice for connecting to a modem is SA0142.

Note: Be sure that the port you specify as the Console Port in the OOBC dialog box (see p. 28) matches the port that you connect the modem to. Change the setting, if necessary.

2.Set up your connection configuration as specified in Steps 2 - 8 of the Direct Dial In Connection, section (see page 61).

3.For Step 9, key in the SN0108 / SN0116's modem telephone number in the fields provided, then click Next.

4.Click Finish.

A new icon that you can use to connect to the SN0108 / SN0116 is created in the Dial-up Network folder. This completes the Indirect Dial In setup.
