•Normal operations – If DSR transitions from low to high and DCD is low

•Normal operations – After a session initiated from the Modem port ends

•Normal operations – After a Pass-Thru connection to the Modem port is disconnected

Click on the Edit link in the Modem port Action column.

On the subsequent Serial Port Edit page, select On or Off from the Modem Initializations drop-down menu and press Apply.
