Connecting A Modem And Terminal - HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB Installation And Reference Manual

Connecting a Modem and Terminal

1. Use a full-duplex, asynchronous (character-mode) modem only. The following
modems have been tested at their rated speeds:
– HP 37212B Support Link
– HP 35031A Support Link II
– HP 50759A Support Link
– Hayes 1200 Smartmodem
– Racal Vadic Maxell 2400VP (Hayes 2400 compatible)
– Black Box V.32 9600 Baud.
2. Configure the modem as described in appendix C, "Modem Configuration".
3. Connect the modem to the console port using a standard RS-232-C "straight-through"
modem cable. For pin-outs and recommended cables see appendix A, "Cables and
Connectors".
4. At the remote site, connect the terminal, or PC emulating a terminal, to the remote
modem. Make sure the terminal and modems are functioning properly, then establish
the link between the terminal's modem and the bridge's modem according to the
modem instructions.
5. Press RETURN several times for the prompt, Main>. The baud rate for communication
between the bridge and the terminal is set automatically when you press RETURN.
If you have configured a bridge access password, you will first be prompted to enter the
password. By default, there is no password. (For information on the PAssword
command, see chapter 4, "Operation".)
If you cannot get a prompt, see "If You Have Trouble with a Terminal or Modem
Connection" on the next page.
