The freeView IP 800’s Serial Settings (Figure 6-15) allows the user to specify what type of device is connected to the serial port and how to use it.

Configuration or console login: Do not use the serial port for any special function; use it only for the initial configuration (see Table 4-1).

Modem: The freeView IP 800 offers remote access using a telephone line in addition to the standard access over the Ethernet network. The modem needs to be connected to the serial interface of the freeView IP 800.

A user can connect to the freeView IP 800 using a telephone line the same way that it would connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). By dialing the telephone number of the modem using third-party modem software on the local computer, the user can connect to the device through normal telephone lines. The connection is established using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Before connecting to the device, ensure that the console computer is configured correctly. For instance, Windows based operating systems default to PPP for dial-up network connections, which is correct.
