Instruction Manual
is connected. It requires the use of a null modem serial cable.
1.Place the modem near the SVxx53DXI 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.
2.Connect that end of the cable to the Serial connection on the rear panel of the SVxx53DXI.
Modem configuration
Although most connections will work appropriately with the default set- tings on SVxx53DXI, manual changes can be made. To do so:
1.Login to the Web interface as Admin.
2.Click Modem, listed on the left side of the main page.
3.You will then be presented with the Modem Option menu.
4.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 SVxx53DXI’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 SVxx53DXI will send to the modem to activate it. The string included should work with the majority of modems
