Dial-Up Management 2-13
Dial-Up Management
The Console port on the back of the MP/16 allows you to manage
it using a dial-up SLIP (WAN) connection. The Console port must
be assigned a WAN IP address and subnet mask. If you have not
already done so, follow the steps for assigning IP addresses earlier
in this chapter before continuing.
To set up the MP/16 for dial-up management, you will need the
following:
♦
A modem. We suggest using a separ ate, external modem. For
instructions on using one of the modems in the MP/16, see
Using an MP/16 Modem for Dial-up Management
at the end of
this section.
♦
A
female
DB-25 or DB-9 to RJ45 cable, such as the ones that
come with the optional U.S. Robotics serial cable kit.
♦
A terminal or PC, running communications software to
configure the modem.
