Configuring Remote Dial-In Access

After the system has booted, the interval has elapsed, and the modem is not in use, the specified dial number is called. The modem trains and receives a login prompt from the other side (normally another Digi CM).

If the login-in prompt (login: ) is detected the line is disconnected again and the modem test is considered successful.

Two ports can call each other using this modem test procedure. Please be aware that the tests will fail if the other modem is in use.

There are multiple ways to review the information about the mode test:

syslog in the Digi CM itself:

07-16-2004 12:45:01 > Port #16 - Modem Test started. Calling to 1234444567. 07-16-2004 12:45:22 > Modem connected through Port #15

07-16-2004 12:45:22 > Port #16 - Modem Test succeeded

In this example a modem connected to port 16 is calling another modem connected to port 15.

Any errors occurring are captured in the syslog file as well.

e-mail based notification

The Alert configuration dialog of the port configuration, contains multiple settings:

The title of the e-mail and the address can be configured.

To be able to configure e-mail notifications, a primary SMTP server has to be configured under Network > SMTP configuration.

SNMP configuration

It is also possible to receive notifications using SNMP traps.

When using SNMP traps the global settings for IP address, Community
