Chapter 4 Logging in Using a Modem
4.1 Introduction
The administrator can log into the Console port of a remote switch using a modem
through public switched telephone network (PSTN) if the remote switch is connected to
the PSTN through a modem to configure and maintain the switch remotely. When a
network operates improperly or is inaccessible, you can manage switches in the
network remotely in this way.
To log into a switch in this way, you need to configure the administrator side and the
