Appendix G. Modem Configurations
With hundreds of modems to choose from, and various modem programming
standards, configuring a modem for use with the Service Processor can be challenging.
The Service Processor is designed to place little demand on an attached modem,
thereby increasing the setup and connection success rates. Several sample modem
configuration files are supplied that work directly with your modem, or provide a good
starting point for a custom setup, if required.
Sample Modem Configuration Files
The sample modem configuration files are located in your service processor firmware
and in the /usr/share/modems subdirectory (if your server is using AIX) with the
following names. A listing of each file is included at the end of this appendix.
