Connecting a Modem to Allow Remote Terminal Access
You can monitor the 8270 remotely by using any Hayes-compatible modem. To
connect a modem to the 8270, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Set up your modem according to its instructions. Place it near the 8270.
Step 2. Connect the cable from the EIA 232 port on the modem to the EIA 232
port on the 8270. (For cable information, see Appendix A, “Cable and
Pin Information.”)
Step 3. Set the modem as indicated below. If you uses settings other than the
ones listed, you can cause the 8270 to reset when the modem is
powered on.
Note: Some modems do not have all of these options. Also, some
modems use slightly different names for the options.
Step 4. Prepare your remote terminal by following steps 1 and 2 under
“Connecting a Local Terminal” on page 3-1.
Step 5. Dial in to the 8270 modem from your remote site.
