GB-Ware Firewall Product Guide

Modem/ISDN TA Hardware

GTA recommends configuring the modem or ISDN TA on another system
before installing it on GB-Ware. Most modems allow the storage of a user
configuration and the recall of this configuration using a specific command
(e.g. ATZ). It is usually easiest to configure the modem before installa-
tion, and then to recall that configuration and set the modem with a few
commands.

Note

The default configuration for most modems will generally work with
GB-Ware.

You should configure the modem to use a fixed DTE speed (the speed
at which the computer talks to the modem). If the modem supports DTE
speeds of 38,400 or 57,600 baud, use whichever of these values will ensure
the highest throughput. Configure your serial port to the highest possible
speed when using an ISDN TA. Unless you wish to connect at a specific
speed, set DCE (the speed at which the modem talks to a remote modem) to
auto-negotiate.

Cable Modems and xDSL Hardware

Cable modems and DSL (ADSL etc.) configurations utilize a passive inter-
connection device (cable modem, xDSL box) that is typically connected
to an Ethernet network interface card via a special network patch cable
(crossover cable).
