SVx41HDI Series Server Remote Control: Instruction Guide

Have your model and serial number on hand. When asked, supply the technician with the code listed under Purchase Options at the bottom of the Firmware and flash memory management page. Once the order is processed, the technician will provide you with an Unlock code. Enter that code in the space provided, and click Submit. The system will update itself to allow modem configuration.

Connecting a Modem

The SVx41HDI will work with virtually any Hayes-compatible modem that recognizes the standard AT command set. Some modem manufacturers offer “enterprise” grade modem products (at a premium price) that include technology to improve the stability of connections; whether this type of product would be beneficial to your application depends on whether you consider the modem connection to be mission-critical, the quality of your telecom infrastructure, and your budget for implementing this solution. The model of modem attached is essentially transparent to the SVx41HDI.

It is important to note that modems that offer “56K” (or 56,000 bps) connections often achieve connection speeds that are far lower than their maximum capabilities. Given the limitations of telecom infrastructure (many locations have yet to implement fully digital switching technology, and still rely on older analog technology for some segments), the maximum “upstream” transfer rate is limited to a maximum of 33,600 bps between two modems; the “downstream” rate is often within a similar range for a typical connection. Therefore, speeds below 56,000 bps do not indicate a problem with the modem or the SVx41HDI but simply reflect the line conditions at the time the connection is made. The SERIAL port on the rear panel must be used for the modem connection. It requires the use of a null modem serial cable.

Place the modem near the SVx41HDI 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 SERIAL connection on the rear panel of the SVx41HDI.

Configuring a Modem Connection on the SVx41HDI

Most connections will work appropriately with the default settings on the SVx41HDI once the feature is enabled. When you entered the Unlock code to enable the feature, the SVx41HDI created a new menu option to enable configuration of this feature.
