8.27.2 Usage
When typing ACCESS MODEM, the controller will send all the characters typed
directly out the modem port. All characters replied back from the modem will be
presented directly to the user. This command is useful for advanced remote
communication trouble shooting issues.
Format:
ACCESS MODEM [-B Baud Rate]
where the optional switch -B allows to connect to the modem using any of the
standard baud rates 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 or
230400.
Using other baud rates than the default will only work if modem is configured for
this speed or is using auto bauding.
If the modem is busy dialing to the Axell Element Manager, or if someone is logged
in remotely to the repeater, the controller will attempt to access the modem for a
limited amount of time before giving up. This might also happen if the controller is
busy initializing the modem. If this is the case, it is normally possible to access the
modem again after a short while.
To abort an ACCESS MODEM session, press three ‘-‘ in a row (all three within one
second) to come back to the repeater command prompt.
Note 1! When accessing the modem port the modem might be configured with
“echo off”, meaning that the characters entered will not be echoed back to the
screen. In order to enable “echo”, press Enter. After that, type
ATE1
(invisible), followed by Enter. The modem should then reply with
OK
indicating that the echo is enabled. All characters entered will now be echoed back
to the user.
Note 2! Command will not work when logged in to the controller remotely over the
modem connection, since modem is busy communicating.
