Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

Connecting a Modem

You can connect a modem to the ARN using the back-panel modem port or you can connect a telephone line directly to an optional, back-panel V.34 modem adapter module.

Note: To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot software configuration options, you must connect a console the first time you power up the ARN. Refer to Chapter 3 for details.

A modem provides remote access to the ARN for a system administrator. We recommend that you connect a modem in case the ARN experiences system problems.

Connecting to the Back-Panel Modem Port

To connect a modem to the ARN back panel, you need an AT (or Hayes) compatible modem and the Order No. 110307 modem cable that came in the ARN console/modem cable kit.

Note: Do not use the Order No. 110308 null modem crossover adapter in the ARN cable kit to connect to a modem.

Complete the following steps:

1.Configure the modem, using the parameters in Table 1-4.
