Modem Settings
Note: Depending on the State and Mode you select, different fields are available.
State Indicates whether an external modem is attached to the device port. If enabling,
set the modem to dial-out, dial-in, dial-back, CBCP server, CBCP client, dial-on-
demand, dial in & dial-on-demand, or dial-in/host list. Disabled by default. For
more information, see Modem State Parameters on page 277.
Mode The format in which the data flows back and forth:
Text: In this mode, the SLC console manager assumes that the modem will be
used for remotely logging into the command line. Text mode can only be used
for dialing in or dialing back. Text is the default.
PPP: This mode establishes an IP-based link over the modem. PPP
connections can be used for dial-out (e.g., the SLC device connects to an
external network), dial-in (e.g., the external computer connects to the network
that the SLC console manager is part of), dial-back (dial-in followed by dial-out),
dial-on-demand, CBCP server or CBCP client.
Initialization Script Commands sent to configure the modem may have up to 100 characters. Consult
your modem’s documentation for recommended initialization options. If you do not
specify an initialization script, the SLC uses a default initialization string of AT
S7=45 SO=0 L1 V1 X4 &D2 &c1 E1 Q0.
Note: We recommend that the modem initialization script always be preceded
with AT and include E1 V1 x4 Q0 so that the SLC console manager may properly
control the modem.
Modem Timeout Timeout for all modem connections. Select Yes (default) for the SLC device to
terminate the connection if no traffic is received during the configured idle time.
Enter a value of from 1 to 9999 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
Caller ID Logging Select to enable the SLC console manager to log caller IDs on incoming calls.
Disabled by default.
Note: For the Caller ID AT command, refer to the modem user guide.
Modem Command Modem AT command used to initiate caller ID logging by the modem.
Note: For the AT command, refer to the modem user guide.
Dial-back Number Users with dial-back access can dial into the SLC device and enter their login and
password (for text mode) or authenticate via PAP or CHAP (for PPP mode). Once
the SLC console manager authenticates them, the modem hangs up and dials
them back.
Select the phone number the modem dials back on -a fixed number or a number
associated with their login. If you select Fixed Number, enter the number (in the
format 2123456789).
The dial-back number is also used for CBCP client as the number for a user-
defined number. For more information, see Modem State Parameters on page
277.
Dial-back Delay For dial-back and CBCP Server, the number of seconds between the dial-in and
dial-out portions of the dialing sequence.
