Connecting an Analog Modem
The PX supports remote dial-in communications to access the CLI
through an analog modem. This dial-in feature provides an additional
alternative to access the PX when the LAN access is not available. To
dial in to the PX, the remote computer must have a modem connected
and dial the correct phone number.
Below are the analog modems that the PX supports for sure:

NETCOMM IG6000 Industrial Grade SmartModem

US Robotics 56K modem
The PX may also support other analog modems which Raritan did not
test.
Note that the PX does NOT support dial-out or dial-back operations via
the modem.
To connect an analog modem:
1. Plug a telephone cord into the phone jack of the supported modem.
2. Plug the modem's RS-232 cable into the serial port labeled
CONSOLE / MODEM on the PX.
