Configuring a Modem

You must configure the modem before you can connect it to the GSS 4490. You
can connect the modem to a terminal or a PC using a terminal emulation program,
such as Hyperterminal. If you connect the modem to the COM port on a PC, you
need the following cable and connectors:

RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rolled cable

RJ-45-to-DB-25 modem adapter

DB-9-to-RJ-45 terminal adapter

Figure B-1

port connector on the back of the GSS 4490. These pin number assignments
