3. Enter the following fields.

Modem Settings
Note:
Depending on the
State
and
Mode
you select, different fields are available.
Baud
The speed with which the device port exchanges data with the attached serial
device.
From the drop-down list, select the baud rate. Most devices use
9600
for the
administration port, so the device port defaults to this value. Check the equipment
settings and documentation for the proper baud rate.
Data Bits
Number of data bits used to transmit a character. From the drop-down list, select
the number of data bits. The default is
8
data bits.
Parity
Parity checking is a rudimentary method of detecting simple, single-bit errors.
From the drop-down list, select the parity. The default is
none
.
Stop Bits
The number of stop bit(s) used to indicate that a byte of data has been transmitted.
From the drop-down list, select the number of stop bits. The default is
1
.
Flow Control
A method of preventing buffer overflow and loss of data. The available methods
include
none, xon/xoff (
software), and
rts/cts
(hardware). The default is
none
.
State
Indicates whether an external modem is attached to the device port. If enabling,
set the modem to dial-out, dial-in, dial-back, dial-on-demand, dial-in/host list, or
dial in, dial-on-demand, CBCP Server, and CBCP Client. Disabled by default. See
Modem Dialing States (on page 152)
for more information.
Mode
The format in which the data flows back and forth:
Text:
In this mode, the SLC unit assumes that the modem will be used for
remotely logging into the command line. Text mode can only be used for
dialing in or dialing back.
Text
is the default.
PPP:
This mode establishes an IP-based link over the modem. PPP
connections can be used in dial-out mode (e.g., the SLC 8000 advanced
console manager connects to an external network), dial-in mode (e.g., the
external computer connects to the network that the SLC unit is part of), or dial-
on-demand.
Use Sites
Enables the use of site-oriented modem parameters which can be activated by
various modem-related events (authentication, outbound network traffic for dial-
on-demand connections, etc.). Sites can be used with the following modem
states: dial-in, dial-back, dial-on-demand, dial-in & dial-on-demand, dial-back &
dial-on-demand, and CBCP server.
