Starting a Session Through a Modem Connection
To establish a remote session, using a pair of modems and terminal, follow
these steps:
1. Use full-duplex, asynchronous (character-mode) modems only. For the
list of supported modems and their initialization strings, go to the HP
networking products web page,
http://www.hp.com/go/network_city
.
Then, select Support and from the Support page, select 10Base-T hubs.
On the 10Base-T hubs page, select Modem Configuration.
2. Initialize both modems according to the initialization strings found on the
web page.
3. Connect the modem for the hub end to the hub’s Console port using a
“straight-through” RS-232-C modem cable. (For pin-outs and recom-
mended cables see the “Cables and Connectors” appendix in your
HP
10Base-T Hubs Installation Guide
.
4. At the remote site, connect the modem for the console end to the serial
port on the PC or terminal.
5. Make sure the terminal and modems are functioning properly, then estab-
lish the link between the console’s modem and the hub’s modem according
to the modem instructions. See your modem manufacturer’s configuration
guide for details.
