Modem Setup
The Modem Setup menu group defines the Modem Sharing behavior and the General Modem Setup
Group defines the Country Code and number of rings before auto answer.
If you are using your MultiAccess for dial-in PPP access (RAS solution), you do not have to modify
Modem sharing, but, you have to select the Country Code. If you are using your MultiAccess for dial-out,
you will have to select one of the Modem Sharing options and select the Country Code.
With any of the Modem Sharing options, the TCP port number used to access the modem is 7000.
Modem Sharing with authentication means a login prompt will be issued to the socket when it is opened.
Who (what) ever opened the socket must provide appropriate credentials before access is given to the
modem. If RAW is also selected – support for RFC 2217 (com port control vial Telnet) will be disabled.
1. If you are using your MultiAccess for dial-in PPP access (RAS), click on the Country Code down
arrow and choose your country/region. Click on the update button to save your selection.
If you are using your MultiAccess for dial-out, you will have to click on the Modem Sharing down
arrow and choose one of the Modem Sharing options.
Caution: Modem sharing is accomplished by implementing a Telnet interface to the MultiAccess
modem. Secure the access to the port via a firewall or IP filter settings to prevent unauthorized
use of your modem resource.
No Authentication. Immediate access is given to the modem.
