Chapter 11 Physical Interfaces
In this menu, you configure the physical interfaces that you have used when connecting
your gateway. The configuration interface only shows the interfaces that are available on
your device. In the
System Management
->
Status
menu, you can see a list of all physical
interfaces and information on whether the interfaces are connected or active and whether
they have already been configured.
11.1 AUX
You require a special cable for the console port of your gateway (e.g. AUX Backup cable)
to connect an external analogue modem to the AUX port on a
bintec
gateway.
11.1.1 AUX
With an analogue/GSM interface, the gateway also supports connections for analogue and
GSM modems (e.g. as backup). In principle, you can use any Hayes- or
GSM07.07-compatible modem with a serial interface for this purpose. The following mo-
dems have been tested successfully for
bintec
:
• US Robotics Sportster Flash (analogue modem)
• US Robotics 56K Fax Modem (analogue modem)
• Siemens TC35i (GSM modem)
