4. Configuration Options

Setting Up the Modem

The unit has an internal modem for dial-in access to the menu-driven user interface, as well as dial-out capability when an SNMP trap is generated. When the modem will be used to dial out, Modem Directory phone numbers need to be set up. Otherwise, simply configure or change dial-in access to the unit.

The modem port is already configured for connection to an asynchronous terminal and dial-in access, with Port Use set to Terminal. However, additional changes may be needed (see Table 4-25, Modem Port Options).

Main Menu Configuration Management and Communication

Modem Port

For dial-in access to the menu-driven user interface via Telnet, make sure Port Use is set to Net Link, the IP address and subnet mask are entered if they are different from the node’s, and that the Link Protocol is correct.

For dial-in access to the router connected to the unit’s COM port, make sure the

Communication Port’s Port Use option is set to Modem PassThru.

See Setting Up Call Directories for Trap Dial-Outon page 4-6,when trap dial-out is desired. See Setting Up to Use the Modem PassThru Feature on page 4-7,if this feature is desired. See Limiting Dial-In Access via the Modem Port in Chapter 6, Security and Logins, for additional information.
