You may wish to test the connection with the default init string first, before making changes specific to your modem model or situation, to sim- plify the troubleshooting process.

Configuring the Remote Connection

This section describes how to configure a typical Windows dial-up session to access the modem connection on the SVxx53DXI. The instructions here relate to a Windows XP configuration; other versions of Windows are similar, if not identical.

Please note the following:

•PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) must be used; no other authentication methods are supported.

•TCP/IP must be installed/enabled on the computer making the connection, and must be used for the dial-up connection.

•The connection must be configured to obtain a dynamic IP address.

•The user name/password must match a user currently configured on the SVxx53DXI.

•For best performance and to simplify the troubleshooting process, firewall software should not be used with the dial-up connection.
