Network Management Card

Dial-in access (AP9618 Management Card only)

When you have access to the control console locally or remotely, use this option of the

System menu to configure dial-in access to the control console using the Management

Card’s internal analog modem.

Setting Definition

Console

Dial-In

Enables (by default) or disables dial-in access to the control console through the

analog modem.

Initialization The initialization string used to ensure proper operation of the modem and

consistent communication between the modem and the Management Card. This

string is sent to the internal modem every time the Management Card restarts, or

when a setting is changed and accepted.

Country

Code

Identifies the country in which the modem is used to match the modem’s

operation to that country’s telephone-system standards.

Terminal

Interface

Enables you to send commands directly to the modem and view the modem’s

response, using a serial, terminal-interface session at a baud rate of 38400.

When you use

CTRL+A to end the session, the modem is reset to use the

Initialization setting.

Dialback With dial-back enabled, when the user whose telephone number is configured as

Dialback String dials in remotely, the Management Card terminates the call

immediately and calls that user’s modem back.

• Dial-back ensures that a dial-in control console session can occur only from the

phone number configured as Dialback String.

• The cost of the control console session is charged to your company or agency

at its telephone calling rate and not to the user who dialed in remotely.

Dialback

String

The modem phone number to call back when Dialback is enabled. Include any

modem commands needed for tasks such as timing, waiting for a dial tone, or

accessing an external telephone line. The default is the sample dial string

9,5551234.
