MIX 56 User Manual 2 Installation

CONNECTING A MODEM

NOTE

Connecting a modem has the effect of disconnecting the local serial CID interface. Serial CID control comes from a remote site through the modem connection.

A modem will not work with the MIX 56 until the “Modem Detect” field on the System Interfaces screen has been set to “Enabled.” See “To Set Modem Detect” in the subsection, “Specifying System Interface Settings” in Chapter 4 before beginning this procedure.

The MIX 56 modem automatically detects the baud rate at the MIX 56 seri- al port; there is no need to set or change the rate.

Step Action

1.Log in to the MIX 56. (See Chapter 4, “Logging In”.)

2.Access the System Interfaces screen and set the “Modem Detect” field to “Enabled.”

3.Log out. (See Chapter 4, “Logging Out”.)

4.Set up the MIX 56 modem:

a.Connect the modem serial port to the MIX 56 serial port with a null modem cable.

b.Connect the modem to a phone line.

c.Power up the modem.

5.Press and hold the ACO switch until the LED test starts (all LEDs light), then release.

This causes an LED test and resets the ACO, as described on page 3-1.

The MIX 56 modem is ready to communicate with a remote-site modem when a remote modem calls in to establish a link. When the remote modem establishes communication with the MIX 56, the user at the remote end can log into the system. See Chapter 4, “Logging In.”

The login screen does not appear automatically at the remote site. Press the Enter key at the remote site to access the login screen.
