Modem Configuration Properties, continued
baudrate 57600
48800
36600
19200
The initial baud rate to use between the JACE and the modem. In
most cases you will not have to change this parameter.
initString depends on modem
• JACE-5—AT&F1E0X4
(USR Sportster)
• JACE-4—ATE0Q0V1X4&D
2&K3\N3%C2&C1&Q5W2
(internal Cermetek)
The modem-specific initialization string sent to the modem when the
JACE boots. It sets options required by our hardware (see the “About
Pre-configured Modems” section on page 4-7).
Initialization string for the Zoom External V.90 Dualmode
Faxmodem— AT&FE0S0=0
updateNvRamCmd depends on modem
• AT&W0 (USR Sportster)
Modem specific command used to save the initialization string to O
so it is available to initialize the modem if the modem reboots and the
JACE does not.
updateNvRamFlag
false
true
Set to true to save the initialization string to NVRAM during the next
boot. This flag must be manually set to true each time initString is
changed. The JACE will automatically set this back to false after the
NVRAM has been successfully updated. This prevents unnecessary
writes to modem NVRAM.
initFailLogOnly
Note: Supported
in release 2.3 or
later.
false
true
When rasEnable=true, and this parameter is set to false, and the
JACE is rebooted, the JACE reboots up to three times trying to
initialize the modem. If the modem is not initialized by the third time,
the following message is sent to the Admin Tool’s event log, and dial
up is disabled:
Disabling dialup. Too many init failures.
When set to true, the JACE will not reboot if the modem doesn’t
initialize, but will only send a message to the event log.
