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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Plug one end of an analog telephone cord into the TELCO jack
on the modem.
- Plug the other end of the analog telephone cord into an analog
telephone jack.
- Plug the modem's power supply into the modem's power jack and
into an electrical outlet.
- 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.
