Overview
Nokia IP40 Security Platform supports remote management by using Out-Of-Band management
(OOB), where IP40 acts as a remote access server (RAS) and waits for the incoming call. To use
OOB, connect a modem to the AUX port of your appliance with dial-up Internet connection.
Out Of Band management is useful in the cases where you cannot connect to your device locally
by using either LAN, WAN or DMZ ports. In these cases, you can use OOB to connect the
device for normal operations. Nokia IP40 supports ISDN terminal adaptor or analog modems for
modem dial-in.
You can dial into the device using a dial-up Internet connection, and use HTTPS, SSH, and
SNMP protocols to configure or monitor the device. By default, OOB is enabled (factory
defaults) in IP40 security platform.
To connect a modem to Nokia IP40 Security Platform
1. Connect a modem to the AUX port of your IP40 device.
2. Dial in to the device from a computer that is configured with the dial-up connection.
3. Use the username and password already defined to log in.
