Accessing the S8300 Media Server using a
dial-up connection
If an optional external modem is connected to the USB port on the S8300 Media Server, you can access the
server over a dial-up connection. Issues include:
• Dial-up users must have a system configured for point-to-point protocol (PPP) access via modem.
• The remote connection should support a data speed of at least 33.6 kbps.
Note: A dial-up connection is typically used only for services support of the server, not
for routine administration. If the server is administered to report OSS alarms, it
uses this same line for alarm notification. The server cannot report any new
alarms while this line is in use.
