cli syntax: • you can set the 'dial' parameter to 'in', 'out' or 'none' (default 'none') in the line
set line parameters sub-menu. Setting 'in' or 'out' tells the unit that there is a modem on
that line. The unit will communicate with the modem through various RS232
signals. The 'dial' parameter can be set for all line services (e.g. cslogin, silent
raw).
set line • when dial is set to 'out' and the line service is set to 'slip' or 'ppp' you can enter a
'phone number for the unit to dial (line parameters sub-menu). This combination
of circumstances occurs when you have two units connected back-to-back; i.e.
they are acting as routers.
add modem • when the 'dial' parameter to 'in' and the line service is set to 'cs_login', 'slip' or
set modem 'ppp' the unit can initialise a modem. You enter a modem name and initialisation
string in the modems sub-menu. The unit will initialise that modem before any
new connection is started.
