EmailThe email address of a contact person that is responsible for the CAT-32 IP and its security.
Key lengthThis is the length of the generated key in bits. 1024 bits are sufficient for most cases. Longer keys may result in slower response time by the CAT-32 IP during connection establishment.
The CAT-32 IP Serial Settings allow you to specify what device is connected to the serial port and how to use it.
Configuration or console loginDo not use the serial port for any special function; use it only for the initial configuration
ModemThe CAT-32 IP offers remote access using a telephone line in addition to the standard access over the built-in Ethernet adapter. The modem needs to be connected to the serial interface of the CAT-32 IP.
Connecting to the CAT-32 IP using a telephone line allows you to set up a dedicated point-to- point connection from your console computer to the CAT-32 IP. In other words, the CAT-32 IP acts as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to which you can dial in. The connection is established using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Before you connect to the CAT-32 IP, make sure you configure your console computer accordingly. For instance, on Windows based operating systems you can configure a dial-up network connection, which defaults to the right settings like PPP.
The Modem Settings panel allows you to configure remote access to the CAT-32 IP using a modem. The meaning of each parameter will be described below. The modem settings are part of the serial settings panel.
