5-2 Tips on Configuring A Modem

Tips on Configuring A Modem

Here are some tips on configuring modems to work with PortServer TS 8/16:

• Configure the modem so that DCD goes high when it receives an incoming connection request.

• Configure the modem to answer an incoming call only when DTR is high, and to drop the line

when DTR goes low.

• For bidirectional connections, it is advisable to configure the non-volatile parameters in the

modem for incoming calls. Also configure the modem to reset to these parameters when DTR is

dropped.

• Configure the modem to lock the serial line speed at the highest baud rate the modem will accept

for reliable data transfer because PortServer TS 8/16 cannot switch the baud rate of the serial line

on a per call basis without reconfiguration.

Note: You may want to consider connecting modems using RealPort, a feature that allows

network-based host systems to use the ports of the PortServer TS 8/16 as though they

were the host system’s own ports. It is an easy and efficient way for modems to use

PortServer TS 8/16 ports. For information on this option, see "Configuring Ports for

RealPort" on page 3-1.
