Modem Usage
Dial-up connection support for the unit allows users to access the connected target device when normal network
connectivity to Dominion SX is not available. Once the PPP connection is established between the client computer
and the unit, the user can access the unit by using the browser.
Note : Dial-up access is supported only with connections of 28.8 Kbps or greater connection baud
rates.

Client Installation for Modem Access
Depending on the characteristics of the phone line, connection speed will vary. The modem that is installed in the
unit is a 56Kbps device; generally the connection speed will be approximately 33Kbps. At this speed, there is a
possibility that downloading the applet will take some time before a connection can be made with the unit and the
remote target device accessed. A client installation that improves the access to the unit is available, and once
installed, subsequent access to the unit makes use of this local file. Depending on the client machine browser
operating system that is used, the client software installation procedure is different. Please see
Appendix H: Client
Software Installation for additional information.
