Installing and Operating AN/DC and
Connecting a Modem
A modem provides remote access to the AN/DC for a network administrator. We recommend that you connect a modem in case the AN/DC experiences system problems.
Note: Netboot, Directed Netboot, and Local Boot require a terminal or PC console connection. After the AN/DC is on the network, you can replace the console connection with a modem connection. When using EZ Install, you can connect a modem to the AN/DC before or after you connect the AN/DC to the network.
To connect a modem to the AN/DC, you need
•An AT (or Hayes) compatible modem
•The Order No. 110307 modem cable in the AN/DC console/modem cable kit
Do not use the Order No. 110308 null modem adapter from the AN/DC cable kit.
Once you have the appropriate equipment, complete the following steps:
1.Configure the modem, using the parameters in Table
