Logically, connecting to the DKVM-IP1 using a telephone line means nothing more than
creating a dedicated point-to-point connection from your Remote computer to the
DKVM-IP1. In other words, the DKVM-IP1 acts as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to
which you can dial in. The connection is established using the Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP). Before you connect to the DKVM-IP1, make sure to configure your Remote
computer accordingly. For instance, on Windows based operating systems you can
configure a dial-up network connection (which is set to PPP by default).
The Modem Settings panel allows you to configure the remote access to the
DKVM-IP1 using a modem. The meaning of each parameter is described below. For
further assistance with these settings, please contact your network administrator.
Serial line speed
Enter the speed the DKVM-IP1 will communicate with the modem at. Most modems
available today will support the default value of 115200 bps. In case you are using an
older modem and having connection issues, try to lowering this speed.
Modem Init String
Enter the initialization string used by the DKVM-IP1 to initialize the modem. The
default value will work with most modern standard modems directly connected to a
telephone line. In case you have a special modem, or if the modem is connected to a
local telephone switch that requires a special dial sequence in order to establish a
connection to the public telephone network, you can change this setting by entering a
new string. Refer to the modem's manual for the modem init string syntax.
Modem server IP address
Enter the IP address that will be assigned to the DKVM-IP1 itself during the PPP
handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection, virtually every IP address is
possible but you must make sure it is not interfering with the IP settings of the
DKVM-IP1 or the Remote computer. The default value will work in most cases.
Modem client IP address
Enter the IP address that will be assigned to your console computer during the PPP
handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection, virtually every IP address is
possible but you must make sure it is not interfering with the IP settings of the
DKVM-IP1 or the Remote computer. The default value will work in most cases.
