giving a new string. Refer to the modem’s manual about the AT command syntax.

Modem server IP address

This IP address will be assigned to the IP module itself during the PPP handshake. Since it is a

point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is possible but you must make sure, it is not

interfering with the IP settings of the IP module and your console computer. The default value will

work in most cases.

Modem client IP address

This IP address will be assigned to your console computer during the PPP handshake. Since it is a

point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is possible but you must make sure, it is not

interfering with the IP settings of the IP module and your console computer. The default value will

work in most cases.

Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet

Using this option, it is possible to connect an arbitrary device to the serial port and access it (assuming it

provides terminal support) via Telnet. Select the appropriate options for the serial port and use the Telnet

Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the IP module.

3-4.6 Date and Time

This link refers to a page, where the internal real-time clock of the IP module can be set up (see Figure

3-32). You have the possibility to adjust the clock manually, or to use a NTP timeserver. Without a

timeserver, your time setting will not be persistent, so you have to adjust it again, after IP module loses

power for more than a few minutes. To avoid this, you can use a NTP timeserver, which sets up the internal

clock automatically to the current UTC time. Because NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting that

allows you to set up a static offset to get your local time.

Warning

There is currently no way to adjust the daylight saving time automatically. So you

have to set up the UTC offset twice a year properly to the local rules of

your country.
