Serial line speed
The speed the IP-KVM switch uses to communicate with the modem. Most modems available
today will support the default value of 115200 bps. If you are using an old modem and
discovering problems try to lowering this speed.
Modem Init String
The initialisation string used by the IP-KVM switch to initialise the modem. The default value
will work with all modern standard modems directly connected to a telephone line. If 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 for the AT
command syntax.
Modem server IP address
This IP address will be assigned to the IP-KVM switch itself during the PPP handshake. Since it
is a point-to-point IP connection virtually any IP address will work but you must make sure it
is not interfering with the IP settings of the IP-KVM 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. The de-
fault 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 se-
rial port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the IP-KVM
switch.
