Establishing a New Remote Link 

Use this procedure when using an internal or external modem on the PC to dial in 
to a remote SLM SiteLync. For the SLM/AY, be sure that OPTION switch 
position 2 is in the DOWN position.  For all other models, be sure that the 
RUN/CFG switch is in the RUN position.  Following any change to switch 
settings, be sure to  power cycle or RESET the SLM SiteLync. 

The modem connected to the host PC must first be installed using Modems 
function in the Windows Control Panel.  Be sure the “Modem Maximum Speed” 
parameter in the “Standard Modem Properties” window is set to 57600 baud. 

Once the PC modem is installed to Windows, establish a new remote link with an 
SLM SiteLync using SLTALink Manager by using the following steps: 

a. From the 

Line

 menu, choose 

Dialing Preferences

. Click the 

 Dialing Properties 

 

button to bring up the “Dialing Properties window.  Ensure that information 
is correct for the location of the host PC.

d. In the “Dialing Address” window, specify the phone number (“Phone 

-window) and select the modem to be used (“Connect Using” 

sub-window). 

e. If additional modem setup commands are needed for the modem attached to 

the host PC (such as a command to set the B Channel protocol of an ISDN 
modem to match the protocol selected for the SLM SiteLync), they can be 
entered as follows :    

• 

In the “Connect Using” window, click the 

 Configure Line  

button to
