Modem Management
Dial-up modem support ensures access when the network is not available. SLM supports dial-in
(text mode and PPP mode) and dial-out (PPP mode) as follows:
The administrator can configure dial-in and dial-out from either the web interface or the CLI.
A user dialing in from a remote computer in text mode can access the CLI on the SLM.
A user dialing in from a remote computer in PPP mode can access the CLI and the web
interface on the SLM. Depending on the PPP settings, the user may access all devices that
the SLM has access to as well.
A user can dial out from the CLI and the web interface in PPP mode.
