reflect the line conditions at the time the connection is made.

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.

1.Place the modem near the SVxx54DX4I 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 SVxx54DX4I.

Modem configuration

Although most connections will work appropriately with the default settings on SVxx54DX4I, 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 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
