The administrator can log into the Console port of a remote switch using a
modem through public switched telephone network (PSTN) if the remote switch is
connected to the PSTN through a modem to configure and maintain the switch
remotely. When a network operates improperly or is inaccessible, you can manage
switches in the network remotely in this way.
To log into a switch in this way, you need to configure the administrator side and
the switch properly, as listed in the following table.
