Connecting a modem using the NNCLI

Connect a modem to a Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 to establish a connection with the switch. To connect a modem to an Ethernet Routing Switch you may need to set up the modem port using another type of connection, such as a terminal connection, to the NNCLI.

You can access the NNCLI through a modem connection to the Ethernet Routing Switch 8690SF, 8691SF/CPU, or 8692SF/CPU modules.

ATTENTION

Nortel recommends that you use the default settings for the modem port for most modem installations.

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.
