Making Connections

After you make a Telnet connection, you will be presented with a login prompt. Proceed to Establishing an Administrative Session.

For more information on Telnet, refer to the Remote Management chapter.

REMOTE CONNECTIONS (MODEM TO MODEM)

To make modem-to-modem connections, you will need a remote PC and one of the following:

a.Carbon Copy software (analog modem to analog modem connection)

b.PPP Dial--Up Networking software (analog modem to digital modem connection)

With remote connections using Carbon Copy, you will need a straight-through modem cable, modem and analog connection on the CyberSWITCH side.

With remote connections using Dial-Up Networking software, you will need a digital modem on the CyberSWITCH.
