Connecting a modem

Connect a modem to a Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 to establish a connection with the switch. You can configure the modem port first using another type of connection, such as a terminal connection, to the NNCLI.

Prerequisites

You need a DTE-to-DCE cable (straight or transmit cable) to connect the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 to the modem.

You must configure your client dial-up settings to establish the connection to the modem.

You must log on to the Global Configuration mode in the NNCLI.

Procedure steps

Step Action

1Configure port parameters based on the modem requirements by using the following command:

boot config sio modem [8databits][baud <rate>] [mode <asciislipppp>]

For information about the configuration requirements of your modem, see the documentation shipped with the modem.
