6.4.5 Serial Port
Figure 6-15: Serial Port
The freeView IP 800’s Serial Settings (Figure 6-15) allows the user to specify what type of device
is connected to the serial port and how to use it.
Configuration or console login: Do not use the serial port for any special function; use it only
for the initial configuration (see Table 4-1).
Modem: The freeView IP 800 offers remote access using a telephone line in addition to the
standard access over the Ethernet network. The modem needs to be connected to the serial
interface of the freeView IP 800.
A user can connect to the freeView IP 800 using a telephone line the same way that it would
connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). By dialing the telephone number of the modem
using third-party modem software on the local computer, the user can connect to the device
through normal telephone lines. The connection is established using the Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP). Before connecting to the device, ensure that the console computer is configured correctly.
For instance, Windows based operating systems default to PPP for dial-up network connections,
which is correct.
