Modem Connections
In addition to connecting to the KVM through a regular Ethernet connection,
you can also access the KVM by dialing in through an installed external
modem. Use PPP when dialing into any of the supported modems. Once the
connection is made, all connections to the specified IP address are made
through the PPP connection. For example, if you enter the specified IP
address in a browser after making the PPP connection, the browser connects
to the KVM through the dialup connection. This way you can access the Web
Manager through PPP even if the IP connection to the KVM is not available.
The KVM administrator performs the procedures to install and configure the
modems. Contact your KVM administrator for the phone numbers,
usernames, and passwords to use, and for questions about how the modems
are configured.
Before anyone can use PPP to access the KVM, the PPP connection must be
configured by the user on the remote computer so the connection can be used
for dialing in. Before configuring PPP, you need the following:
• A modem connected to the remote computer.
• The phone number of the line that is dedicated to the KVM modem you
want to access.
• If authentication is required for the modem, you need a username and
password for a user account on the KVM.
The following table lists the related procedures and where they are
documented.
