6-8 ES45 Owner's Guide
After downloading binary files, you can set the com1_mode environment vari-
able from the SRM console to switch back to Snoop mode or other modes for ac-
cessing the RMC, or you can hang up the current modem session and reconnect
it.
Firm Bypass Mode
In Firm Bypass mode all data and control signals are routed directly between
the system COM1 port and the external modem port. The RMC does not con-
figure or monitor the modem. Firm Bypass mode is useful if you want the sys-
tem, not the RMC, to fully control the modem port and you want to disable RMC
remote management features such as remote dial-in and dial-out alert.
You can switch to other modes by resetting the com1_mode environment vari-
able from the SRM console, but you must set up the RMC again from the local
terminal.
