using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Before you connect to the ARMC/3P
make sure to configure your console computer accordingly. For instance, on
Windows based operating systems you can configure a dial-up network
connection which defaults to the right settings like PPP.
The Modem Settings panel allows you to configure the remote access to the
ARMC/3P 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 with which the ARMC/3P is communicating with the modem.
Most of all modems available today will support the default value of
115,200 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 ARMC/3P 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 giving a new string. Refer to the
modem's manual about the AT command syntax.
Modem server IP address
This IP address will be assigned to the ARMC/3P itself during the PPP
handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP
address is possible but you must make sure that it is not interfering with
the IP settings of the ARMC/3P 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 that it is not interfering
with the IP settings of the ARMC/3P and your console computer. The
default value will work in most cases.
Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet/SSH
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 or SSH.
Select the appropriate options for the serial port and use the Telnet Console
or a standard Telnet/SSH client to connect to the ARMC/3P. For more
information about the Telnet interface you may have a look at the Chapter 5:
Remote Console, Telnet Console.
