Setting the RS-232 Port for use with a Modem (COM-Port 2 only)

button for Modem. Click Save. To configure the modem, click on the Modem link (also

from the System Options on the main Administration page).

Modem Settings

If you are intending to use your AXIS 2460 over a dial-up modem connection, define the

appropriate communication settings for your modem and click the Save button. Note that
a modem can be used only on COM-port 2.

Communication Settings

Modem Type -

Select a modem from the list of supported V.90 compatible modems in the

drop-down list - selecting Generic if the modem you want to use does not appear in the

list.

Note:

Although most external modems are known to work well with the AXIS 2460,

only the modems listed in the drop-down list have been fully tested.

Disable Incoming Calls -

Check this box if you do not want your modem to answer incoming

calls.

Flow Control -

Synchronizes the connected modems. Hardware flow control is accomplished

by enabling the Control to Send (CTS) and Return to Send (RTS) signals for the serial
interface. If using Software control, the modems will still be synchronized, but the flow

control will use XON/XOFF. If using NONE, there will be no synchronization.

Baud Rate (bps) -

Set the baud rate for the connected modem.

Init String -

This defines the Attention Code (AT) command sent when starting the dial-up

connection, to initialize the connected modem. Using the Attention Code ATz (the common

code for initializing most commercial modems), the Network DVR will normally configure

the port settings for the connected modem automatically.
