CN8600 User Manual
Console Management
This section discusses methods of opening the CN8600 console via OOBC or
serial connection.
OOBC
In case the CN8600 cannot be accessed with the usual LAN-based methods, it
can be accessed via the switch's modem port. To enable support for PPP
(modem) operation, click to put a checkmark in the Enable Out of Band Access
checkbox.
PPP Settings
When you enable Out of Band Access, the Enable Dial Back, and Enable Dial
Out functions become available, as described in the sections that follow.
Dial Back
As an added security feature, if this function is enabled, the switch disconnects
the calls that dial in to it, and dials back to one of the entries specified below:
Enable Fixed Number Dial Back: If Fixed Number Dial Back is enabled,
when there is an incoming call, the CN8600 hangs up the modem and dials
back to the modem whose phone number is specified in the Phone Number
field.
Key the phone number of the modem that you want the CN8600 to dial
back to in the Phone Number field.
Enable Flexible Dial Back: If Flexible Dial Back is enabled, the modem
that the CN8600 dials back to doesn't have to be fixed. It can dial back to
any modem that is convenient for the user, as follows:
1. Key the password that the users must specify in the Password field.
2. When connecting to the CN8600's modem, users specify the phone
number of the modem that they want the CN8600 to dial back to as
their Username, and specify the password set in the Password field for
their password.
