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
.
Dial-out Mode
Select either GPRS or GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) as the
type of dial-out connection.
PIN
Enter PIN (personal identification number) for accessing the GSM/GPRS card.
Retype PIN
Re-enter PIN (personal identification number) for accessing the GSM/GPRS card.
PPP Compression
Select to enable negotiation of data compression over PPP links. Disabled by

GSM Bearer Svc
Command to select the bearer service, data rate, and connection element to use
when data call originate.
State
If enabling, set the modem to dial-out, dial-in, dial-back, CBCP server, CBCP
client, dial-on-demand, dial-in & dial-on-demand, dial-back & dial-on-demand, or
dial-in/host list. Disabled by default. For more information on the different dialing
types, see
Modem Dialing States (on page 136)
.
Mode
The format in which the data flows back and forth:
Text:
In this mode, the SLC console manager 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 unit connects to an
external network), dial-in mode (e.g., the external computer connects to the
network that the SLC device is part of), or dial-on-demand.
