Enable modem operation on the port(s) used for outgoing calls. Then, assign a modem profile to the port
using the Define Ports Modem Type command.
Figure 4-25: Enabling Modem Operation
Note: A modem profile automatically sets up a port for a specific type of modem.
Define Ports Modem Type is listed on page 12-105. Modem profiles and
complete modem configuration instructions are discussed in Chapter 9,
Modems.
4.6.4.3 Create a Site
Every outgoing connection must use a site. Each site is initially created with a default set of configurations.
See Creating a New Site on page 4-3 for details on how to create a site.
To display the current configuration, use the List Site command.
Figure 4-26: Listing a Site’s Configuration
List Site can be used with a number of parameters, which display different aspects of a site’s configuration.
For example, List Site Ports will display all ports associated with the site.
4.6.4.4 Select Ports to Use for Dialing Out
Once a site is created, the ports that it will use to dial the remote location must be defined. Each site must
be associated with at least one port. Use the following command:
Figure 4-27: Associating a Site With a Port
4.6.4.5 Assign a Telephone Number to the Port or Site
If the site will be used with modems, at least one telephone number must be specified so that the site can
dial a remote host. The number may be assigned specifically for use with a particular port, or for use with
any port. To assign a port-specific telephone number, use the Define Site Port Telephone command.
Figure 4-28: Assigning a Port Telephone Number
To assign a telephone number to the site that may be used with any port, use the Define Site Telephone
command.
