Connecting an Analog Modem
The PX3 supports remote dial-in communications to access the CLI
through an analog modem. This dial-in feature provides an additional
alternative to access the PX3 when the LAN access is not available. To
dial in to the PX3, the remote computer must have a modem connected
and dial the correct phone number.
Below are the analog modems that the PX3 supports for sure:

NETCOMM IG6000 Industrial Grade SmartModem

US Robotics 56K modem
The PX3 may also support other analog modems which Raritan did not
test.
Note that the PX3 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 PX3.

For iX7
™
, a third party RJ-45 to "DB9 male" adapter/cable is
required for this connection. See
RJ45-to-DB9 Cable
Requirements for Modem Connections (for iX7
™
Only)
(on page
670).
You need to enable the modem dial-in support to take advantage of this
feature, see
Configuring the Serial Port
(on page 325).
Connecting an External Beeper
The PX3 supports the use of an external beeper for audio alarms.
External beepers that are supported include but may not be limited to
the following:

Mallory Sonalert MODEL SNP2R
After having an external beeper connected, you can create event rules
for the PX3 to switch on or off the external beeper when specific events
occur. See
Event Rules and Actions
(on page 272).
To connect an external beeper:
1. Connect a standard network patch cable to the FEATURE port of the
PX3.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the external beeper's RJ-45
socket.
