You will then be presented with the
Modem Option
menu (see above). Make the
following changes to enable and configure the modem connection.
•
Enable modem connections (PPP) via serial port/modem:
select
Enabled
.
•
Baud rate to use (affects connection between us and the modem only):
select
115200
.
•
Init string:
leave as
ATE0S0=1&K3
(see below).
The baud rate dictates the connection speed between the SV1110IPEXT’s serial port and
the modem, and does not affect the connection speed between the local and remote
modems, as they will negotiate their own connection speed when a connection is made.
It is highly recommended that this setting be left at the default for best performance.
The init string is the command (using the standardized Hayes AT command set) that the
SV1110IPEXT will send to the modem to activate it. The string included should work
with the majority of modems and configures the following connection properties: answer
incoming calls on the first ring, enable hardware flow control, and lock the connection
speed. Your modem’s documentation will describe other potential init strings that you
can use to alter the connection properties. For instance, you could commit the settings to
the modem’s non-volatile memory (NVRAM) or allow the modem to adjust the
connection speed for greater stability (and so on). You may wish to test the connection
with the default init string first before making changes specific to your modem model or
situation to simplify the troubleshooting process.
