Modem/ISDN port

The MC5-IP models provide a serial port to allow you to connect either a modem or ISDN terminal adapter. This can be used as a primary, secondary or backup access port for global users, as best suits your overall configuration.

IMPORTANT: When the MC5-IP is accessible from the public Internet or dial up connection, you must ensure that sufficient security measures are employed.

Note: On non-IP models, the COM2/MODEM port is reserved for the support of future features.
