Port Alert Settings
The Port Alert Settings dialog box provides a way for you to be informed about
events that occur on the devices connected to the CN8000's ports.
You can specify up to 10 types of events (e.g., Power On) in the Alert String
fields. When a specified alert occurs during the serial console session, the
CN8000 writes the event information to the log file.

enable support for PPP (modem) operation, click to put a checkmark in the
Enable Out of Band Access checkbox.

details.
