Initializing a Modem in a Powered-On Switch

When a switch is already powered-on and the modem is later connected to either the console port or the

COM1 port, you can initialize the modem using the modem connect line command in EXEC mode. You

can specify the com1 option if the modem is connected to the COM1 port, or the console option if the

modem is connected to the console.

To connect a modem to a switch that is already powered on, follow these steps.

Wait until the system has completed the boot sequence and the system image is running.

Connect the modem to the switch as specified in the Cisco MDS 9200 Series Hardware Guide or the

Cisco MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide.

Initialize the modem using the modem connect line command in EXEC mode.

Use the show line command to verify the configured modem settings.
