Place the modem near the SV1115IPEXT and an available telephone
jack. Connect the modem to the telephone jack, data cable, and
power source according to the instructions in its documentation. The
opposite end of the modem’s data cable should be a DB9 female serial
connection. Connect that end of the cable to the DCE Serial connection
on the rear panel of the SV1115IPEXT.
Modem configuration
Although most connections will work appropriately with the default
settings on SV1115IPEXT, manual changes can be made. To do so:
Login to the Web interface as Admin. Click Modem, listed on the left
side of the main page. You will then be presented with the Modem
Option menu (see above). Make the following changes to enable and
configure the modem connection.
Enable modem connections (PPP) via serial port/modem: select •
Enabled.
Baud rate to use (affects connection between us and the modem
•
only): select 115200.
Init string: leave as ATE0S0=1&K3 (see below).
•
The baud rate dictates the connection speed between the
SV1115IPEXT’s serial port and the modem, and does not affect the
connection speed between the local and remote modems, as they will
negotiate their own connection speed when a connection is made. It
is highly recommended that this setting be left at the default for best
performance.
The initialization (“init”) string is the command (using the standardized
Hayes AT command set) that the SV1115IPEXT will send to the
modem to activate it. The string included should work with the majority
of modems and configures the following connection properties: answer
incoming calls on the first ring, enable hardware flow control, and lock
the connection speed. Your modem’s documentation will describe
other potential init strings that you can use to alter the connection
properties. For instance, you could commit the settings to the modem’s
non-volatile memory (NVRAM) or allow the modem to adjust the
