Communicating With the Modem
DIGITAL recommends that you use the Access Server Manager application to
configure the modem or send commands directly to the modem. If necessary, you can
communicate with the modem using a local or remote console.
To communicate directly with the modem using the console port, complete the
following steps. For more information about DNAS command syntax, see the Network
Access Server Command Reference manual.

connect to the service, and enter a modem command. The modem responds with OK,
