The serial port can be used for serial port configuration when the modem
is connected. It requires the use of a null modem serial cable.
Place the modem near the SVxx54DX4I and an available telephone 1.
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 2.
panel of the SVxx54DX4I.
Although most connections will work appropriately with the default
settings on SVxx54DX4I, manual changes can be made. To do so:
Login to the Web interface as 1. Admin.
Click 2. Modem, listed on the left side of the main page.
You will then be presented with the 3. Modem Option menu.
Make the following changes to enable and configure the modem 4.
connection:
Enable modem connections (PPP) via serial por t/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 SVxx54DX4I’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 SVxx54DX4I will send to the modem
