Setting Up the AXIS 200 Modem Server
A modem server provided within your AXIS 200 makes it possible to
transmit snapshot images over the PSTN. By connecting the AXIS
200 to a modem, it is possible to download snapshot images to remote
computers using standard modem equipment.
Configuration of the serial port for modem connection
XON/XOFF
The AXIS 200 modem server utilizes XON/XOFF handshaking. In
this mode of operation, a straight-through RS232 cable is all that is
required for connecting the modems to both the computer and the
AXIS 200. That is, the transmit and receive signals on pins 2 and 3 of
the cable do not need to be reversed.
Note:
❏ This is the common wiring schedule for RS232 cables supplied
with most of today’s popular modems.
