Using the Console Port to Remotely Control the XSR

The XSR’s Console port can also be connected to a modem for the purpose of remote console control. Make the connection with a straight-throughcable and enter the following XSR commands:

XSR(config)#interface serial 0

XSR(config-if<S0>)#physical-layer async

XSR(config-if<S0>)#clock rate 9600

XSR(config-if<S0>)#encapsulation ppp

XSR(config-if<S0>)#ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

XSR(config-if<S0>)#ppp timeout retry 20

XSR(config-if<S0>)#no shutdown

Set the modem switches as follows:

•DTR override (DTR is ignored)

•No echo offline commands

•Auto answer on first ring

•Carrier Detect normal

•Load factory defaults

•Dumb mode (AT command mode disabled

Connecting a Serial Interface to a Modem

The XSR supports attaching a Serial (RS-232) NIM interface and modem to accept inbound and outbound data calls. Modem switches and the receiving-sideXSR are configured exactly as described in “Using the Console Port to Remotely Control the XSR” except that the interface serial 0 command must instead specify interface serial 1 (or higher). Straight-throughcabling is required again for the connection.

On the calling-sideXSR, enter the following commands:

XSR(config)#interface serial 1/1

XSR(config-if<S1/1>)#physical-layer async

XSR(config-if<S1/1>)#clock rate 38400

XSR(config-if<S1/1>)#encapsulation ppp

XSR(config-if<S1/1>)#dialer pool-member 1

XSR(config-if<S1/1>)#no shutdown

XSR(config-if<S1/1>)#dialer interface 1

XSR(config-if<D1>)#dialer pool 1

XSR(config-if<D1>)#dialer string <your phone number>

XSR(config-if<D1>)#address 192.100.10.2 255.255.255.0

XSR(config-if<D1>)#no shutdown

And enter the following calling-side modem switch settings:

•DTR normal (DTR disconnects)

•Echo offline commands

•Verbal result codes

•Display result codes

•Carrier Detect normal

•AT command mode enabled
