You need a DTE-to-DCE cable (straight or transmit cable) to connect
the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 to the modem.
You must configure your client dial-up settings to establish the
connection to the modem.
Action
In the run-time CLI, configure the modem port by using the
following command:
config bootconfig sio modem
Now you can enter options for this command level without
retyping the first part of the command.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that before you configure the Serial Line Internet
Protocol (SLIP) or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), you familiarize
yourself with these protocols.
Configure port parameters based on the modem requirements by
using the following commands:
baud <rate>
8databits <true|false>
mode <ascii|slip|ppp>
For information about the configuration requirements of your
modem, see the documentation shipped with the modem.
If you configure the port mode to slip, use the following
commands to configure other SLIP parameters:
slip-compression <true|false>
slip-rx-compression <true|false>
If you configure the port mode to ppp, use the following
commands to configure other PPP parameters:
mtu <bytes>
my-ip <ipaddr>
peer-ip <ipaddr>
pppfile <file>
On the modem, turn off echo mode and return code messaging.
Connect the modem to the modem port.
