The Modem Settings panel allows you to configure remote access to the KVM OVER IP
SWITCH using a modem. The meaning of each parameter will be described below. The modem
settings are part of the serial settings panel.
Serial line speed
The speed the KVM OVER IP SWITCH is communicating with the modem. Most modems
available today will support the default value of 115200 bps. In case you are using an old
modem and discovering problems try to lower this speed.
Modem Init String
The initialization string used by the KVM OVER IP SWITCH to initialize the modem. The
default value will work with all modern standard modems directly connected to a telephone
line. In case you have a special modem or the modem is connected to a local telephone
switch that requires a special dial sequence in order to establish a connection to the public
telephone network, you can change this setting by entering a new string. Refer to your
modem's manual about the AT command syntax.
Modem server IP address
This IP address will be assigned to the KVM OVER IP SWITCH during the PPP handshake.
Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is possible but you must
make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the KVM OVER IP SWITCH and your
console computer. The default value will work in most cases.
Modem client IP address
This IP address will be assigned to your console computer during the PPP handshake.
Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is possible but you must
make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the KVM OVER IP SWITCH switch and
your console computer. The default value will work in most cases.
Pass-through access to serial port via Telnet
Using this option, it is possible to connect an arbitrary device to the serial port and access it
(assuming it provides terminal support) via Telnet. Select the appropriate options for the serial
port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the KVM OVER IP
SWITCH .

5.5.6 Date And Time
Here you can set the internal real-time clock of the KVM OVER IP SWITCH . You can adjust the
clock manually or use an NTP timeserver. Without a timeserver your time setting will be lost if
the KVM OVER IP SWITCH is powered down for more than a few minutes. To avoid this, you
can use an NTP timeserver which sets up the internal clock automatically to the current UTC
time. Because the NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting that allows you to set up a
static offset to get your local time.
Note: The IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC does not adjust to daylight saving time
automatically. So you have to set up the UTC offset according to the local conventions of
your country.
