Using The Modem Feature; Connecting A Modem - StarTech.com CABCONS1716I User Manual

Instruction Manual
The Modem feature allows the CABCONS1716I to act as an Internet con-
nection server for increased security and flexibility in connecting with the
host computer.
Unlike the TCP/IP connection used with the standard Web configuration
and VNC clients, the modem creates a one-to-one connection between
the CABCONS1716I and the computer you are using, bypassing the
public Internet completely.
NOTE: This feature requires both an external modem (most standard
connection protocols are supported) and a dedicated phone line that can
be connected to the modem for external access. While it is possible to
use the modem feature through some PBX systems, this increases the
complexity and reduces the performance of the connection. For clarity,
the instructions presented here assume that the modem is connected to a
typical POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) line that is not routed through
a phone management system or shared with other devices.
If you wish to use this feature through a PBX system, it may require some
experimentation and additional support from your telecom services pro-
vider, and is not supported by StarTech.com.

The CABCONS1716I will work with virtually any Hayes-compatible
modem capable of recognizing the standard AT command set. Some mo-
dem manufacturers offer "enterprise" grade modem products that include
technology to improve the stability of connections; whether this type of
product would be beneficial to your application depends on whether you
consider the modem connection to be mission-critical, the quality of your
telecom infrastructure, and your budget for implementing this solution.
