Configuring local and remote modems
Introduction
Modems may be supplied with the EC 11 for remote access.
Each modem needs to be configured before use.
Off-site personnel can access the EC 11 by dialing in through
a remote modem connected to a terminal. Before this can be
done, the A/B switch must be set to disconnect the local
administration terminal from the console port of the EC 11,
and connect the local modem in its place.
Local modem
Configure the local modem by connecting it to a VT220
compatible terminal (for example, the VT520 terminal
supplied with the EC 11) and sending commands to it as
described in this section.
Remote modem
Connect the remote modem to a terminal for configuration.
If you wish, you can connect it temporarily to the EC 11
terminal for configuration (using a straight-through cable),
and move it to its permanent location afterward. As an
alternative, you can use the remote maintenance terminal to
program the remote modem after installation without
switching cables.
Supported modems
The U.S. Robotics 33.6 or 14.4 modems, Racal ALM 3223,
or Hayes Optima 14.4 external modems may be used with the
EC 11. New systems are shipped with the U.S. Robotics 33.6
modem.
Modem speed
Modems must be configured so the baud rate matches that of
the terminal and the CPU’s NVRAM (non-volatile memory).
If you need to verify the rate of the installed Enhanced
MMP40 or MMP40 card, see “Verifying the MMP40 card
baud rate” in the System Installation and Modification Guide
(NTP 555-7001-215) for instructions. Alternatively, you may
use the Change Speed utility available in the System and
Features Dependent Utility on the Tools menu.
Before you configure the modem, the terminal must be
configured to the desired speed. This determines the
