Connecting the modem

A serial modem is provided with Message Networking for remote maintenance on systems running on the S3210 and S3210R servers or for international systems running on the S3400-H server. Complete the following procedure to connect the serial modem to the server. After you connect the modem, you must install the modem in the Message Networking web-based interface. The S3400-H uses an RMB for remote maintenance.

Note: A USB modem is also available for purchase with the system. If you are using a USB modem or a customer-supplied serial modem, follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect the modem to the system. Then use the Install Modem/Software page to install the Message Networking system modem software.

To connect the supplied serial modem:

  1. Verify that dip switches 3 and 8 are in the down position (this should be the default). If you want the ability to dial in to the modem, set dip switch 5 to the up position. If you do not want to allow dialing in to the modem, leave dip switch 5 in the down position.
  2. Connect the 25-pin end of the provided 25-pin to 9-pin cable to the modem. A 25-pin extension cable is also provided for use if needed.
  3. Connect the 9-pin end of the 25-pin to 9-pin cable to COM2 on the back of the server. See S3210R and S3210 back views and S3400-H back views if you need to locate the COM2 connection on the back of the server.
  4. Plug one end of an analog telephone cord into the TELCO jack on the modem.
  5. Plug the other end of the analog telephone cord into an analog telephone jack.
  6. Plug the modem's power supply into the modem's power jack and into an electrical outlet.
  7. Turn on the modem's power and then verify that the light on the front panel of the modem is lit.
    Once the modem is connected, you must install it in the Message Networking system software. Activate the Modem instructs you to do that after you log in to the system for the first time.
