Figure 28 Serial Port Settings

In the IP Extender Serial Settings specify the devices connected to the two Serial ports.

Serial Port 1

The port options are listed below

Configuration login –If this option is checked you can only use the port for the initial configuration and no other function.

Modem - Connect a modem to Serial 1 port. See section 70 below

Serial line speed - Most modems today will support the default value of 115200 bps. For older modems lower the speed.

Modem Init String - Initialization string. The default value works with all modern standard modems connected to a telephone line. For special modems or if connected to a local telephone switch that requires a special dial sequence to connect to the public telephone network, change this setting by giving a new string. See the modem's manual about the AT command syntax.

Modem Server IP address – This address is used only when connecting to IP Extender via a modem. When you dial into the IP Extender the client computer will receive a Client IP address from the IP Extender. Open the Web browser and type modem server IP address to login to the IP Extender.

The Client IP (see paragraph below) must be in the same class C subnet as the server IP. This subnet should not conflict with the Ethernet subnet on the client side and with the Ethernet subnet on IP Extender Network side.
