SWITCH MANAGEMENT

Remote Management via the Console Port

Configure the Switch Site

Connect the switch’s DB9 serial port to the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems which use a 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS-232 cable with a 9-pin connector on one end and a 25-pin connector on the other end. Set the modem at the switch’s site to force auto-answer mode. The following is a sample initialization string: “ATQ1S0=1&D0&K0&W” as defined below:

Q1 : Inhibit result codes to DTE

S0=1 : Auto answer on first ring

D0 : Don’t care DTR

K0 : Disables DTE/DCE flow control

W : Write command to modem memory

Configure the Remote Site

At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM port (COM 1~4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps and no flow control.
