SV1115IPEXT and requires the use of a straight through serial cable.

Rear Panel (DCE Serial port)

Front Panel (DTE Serial port)

Place the modem near the SV1115IPEXT and an available telephone jack. Connect the modem to the telephone jack, data cable, and power source according to the instructions in its documentation. The opposite end of the modem’s data cable should be a DB9 female serial connection. Connect that end of the cable to the DCE Serial connection on the rear panel of the SV1115IPEXT.

Modem configuration

Although most connections will work appropriately with the default settings on SV1115IPEXT, manual changes can be made. To do so:

Login to the Web interface as Admin. Click Modem, listed on the left side of the main page. You will then be presented with the Modem Option menu (see above). Make the following changes to enable and configure the modem connection.

Enable modem connections (PPP) via serial port/modem: select Enabled.

Baud rate to use (affects connection between us and the modem only): select 115200.

Init string: leave as ATE0S0=1&K3 (see below).

The baud rate dictates the connection speed between the SV1115IPEXT’s serial port and the modem, and does not affect the connection speed between the local and remote modems, as they will negotiate their own connection speed when a connection is made. It is highly recommended that this setting be left at the default for best performance.

The initialization (“init”) string is the command (using the standardized Hayes AT command set) that the SV1115IPEXT will send to the modem to activate it. The string included should work with the majority of modems and configures the following connection properties: answer incoming calls on the first ring, enable hardware flow control, and lock the connection speed. Your modem’s documentation will describe other potential init strings that you can use to alter the connection properties. For instance, you could commit the settings to the modem’s non-volatile memory (NVRAM) or allow the modem to adjust the connection speed for greater stability (and so on). You may wish to test the connection with the default init string first, before making changes specific to your modem model or situation, to simplify the troubleshooting process.
