Appendix B: Using DSView Software Over a Modem Connection
An external modem may be attached to the DSR switch. This modem may be used to access the
switch when an Ethernet connection is not available.
A modem/PPP dial-up connection must be established before the remote operation is enabled. The
dial-up connection options should be set to 115,200 bps, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and enabled
hardware flow control.
Before you begin
The following actions should be performed before using the DSR Remote Operations software:
• Ensure that the DSR switch is configured. See Chapter 2 for more information.
• Ensure that DSR switch users have been added to the DSR switch internal database. If the
DSView Server software is not available, the switch database is used for authentication. If
neither are available, authentication cannot be performed for the DSR switch. See Chapter 4
for more information.
• Ensure that an external modem is attached to the DSR switch MODEM port. The modem
should have auto-answer turned off (typically a modem’s default setting).
• Ensure that your client PC contains dial-up software and that the software is configured
properly. See your operating system documentation for more information.
Establishing a DSR Remote Operations software connection
This is explained in detail in the DSView Installer/User Guide.
