Chapter 2

Setting Up USB Modems for Remote Management

J-series Services Routers support the use of USB modems for remote management. You can use Telnet or SSH to connect to the router from a remote location through two modems over a telephone network. The USB modem is connected to the USB port on the Services Router, and a second modem is connected to a remote management device such as a PC or laptop computer.

NOTE: We recommend using a Multi-Tech MultiModem MT5634ZBA-USB-V92 USB modem with J-series Services Routers.

You use either the J-Web configuration editor or CLI configuration editor to configure the USB modem and its supporting dialer interfaces.
