Appendix E. Modem Configurations

The service processor is designed to place little demand on the attached modem, thereby increasing the setup and connection success rates.

Sample Modem Configuration Files

Several sample modem configurations files are supplied that either work directly with your modem, or provide a good starting point for a custom setup, if required. These files are included on the Sample Modem Configuration Files diskette and in your service processor firmware with the following names:

Diskette File Name	service processor Firmware File Name
modem_z.cfg	modem_z.sp
modem_z0.cfg	modem_z0.sp
modem_f.cfg	modem_f.sp
modem_f0.cfg	modem_f0.sp
modem_f1.cfg	modem_f1.sp
modem_m0.cfg	modem_m0.sp
modem_m1.cfg	modem_m1.sp

The sample modem configuration files are located in the /usr/share/modems subdirectory, if your server is using AIX. A listing of each file is included at the end of this appendix.

Use the following selection procedures and your modem manual, to determine which of the configuration files is suitable for your use.
