Console Management
This section discusses methods of opening the CN8000A console via OOBC
or serial connection.
OOBC
In case the CN8000A cannot be accessed with the usual LAN-based methods,
it can be accessed via the switch’s modem port. To enable support for PPP
(modem) operation, click to put a checkmark in the
Enable Out of Band Access
checkbox.
PPP Settings
When you enable Out of Band Access, the Enable Dial Back , and Enable Dial
Out functions become available, as described in the sections that follow.
Dial Back
As an added security feature, if this function is enabled, the switch disconnects
the calls that dial in to it, and dials back to one of the entries specified below:
Š
Enable Fixed Number Dial Back : If Fixed Number Dial Back is enabled,
when there is an incoming call, the CN8000A hangs up the modem and
dials back to the modem whose phone number is specified in the Phone
Number field.
Key the phone number of the modem that you want the CN8000A to dial
back to in the
Phone Number field.
Š
Enable Flexible Dial Back: If Flexible Dial Back is enabled, the modem
that the CN8000A dials back to doesn’t have to be fixed. It can dial back to
any modem that is convenient for the user, as follows:
1. Key the password that the users must specify in the Password field.
2. When connecting to the CN8000A’s modem, users specify the phone
number of the modem that they want the CN8000A to dial back to as
their Username, and specify the password set in the
Password field for
their password.
