Remote Management via the Console Port
Configure the Switch Site
Connect the switch's DB9 serial port to the modem's serial port
using standard cabling. For most modems which use a 25-pin port,
you will have to provide an RS-232 cable with a 9-pin connector on
one end and a 25-pin connector on the other end. Set the modem
at the switch's site to force auto-answer mode. The following is a
sample initialization string: "ATQ1S0=1&D0&K0&W" as defined
below:
Q1
: Inhibit result codes to DTE
S0=1 : Auto answer on first ring
D0
: Don't care DTR
K0
: Disables DTE/DCE flow control
W
: Write command to modem memory
Configure the Remote Site
At the remote site, connect the PC's COM port (COM 1~4) to the
modem's serial port. Set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify
the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set
communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps and
no flow control.
