Figure 3-3. COM port settings

3.The COM port settings dialog box is displayed. The modem initialization string for out-of-band access on the management console is listed in the Modem Control Strings control group. The default value is “AT&F&C1&D2E0S0=0”. Additional configuration settings may need to be appended to this string (for example, some modems may require appending an &B1 (set computer-to-modem speed to fixed) resulting in a string like “AT&F&C1&D2E0S0=0&B1”). To finish configuration, click OK.
