Description
Use this command to enable or disable modem dial-in to a CP on those systems that support modem
dial-in. When modem dial-in is enabled, you can log in to a CP through a modem, and a modem
attached to the CP accepts the call. When modem dial-in is disabled, the modem attached to the CP does
not accept the calls. When entered with no operands, the command displays the currently state of modem
dial-in.
Modem dial-in must be through a Hayes-compatible modem attached to a CP modem serial port. If the
CP is active, the modem is configured to answer an incoming call on the first ring, unless modem dial-in
has been disabled with this command. If the CP is standby, the modem is configured to answer an
incoming call on the seventh ring, unless modem dial-in has been disabled.
In the recommended configuration, a separate modem is connected to each modem port of CP0 and
CP1. These modems connect to the telephone outlet through a RJ-11 Y-adapter and standard telephone
wire (see Figure
During an incoming call, both modems ring and the one connected to the active CP answers the call first.
If for any reason the active modem fails to answer, the caller is logged in to the standby CP.
When both CP cards are connected to a shared telephone line, callers are automatically dialed in to the
active CP card, which answers on the first ring unless modem dial-in has been disabled. If the active CP
card cannot answer for any reason, the standby CP card answers on the seventh ring and allows the
login to proceed, unless modem dial-in has been disabled.
