You must perform the steps in the order presented in the table.
Step To do this Follow these steps:
1

Perform this step for each SMP Gateway with which you want to
communicate via modem.
1. Start SMP Manager. Select the SMP Gateway to be configured and
from the File menu, click SMP Gateway Properties. In the
Gateway Properties dialog box, clear the Automatically Poll SMP
Status at startup check box. This will prevent polling on the dialup
connection.
2. From the Tools menu, click Telnet.
3. Type RASMGR to start the RAS Manager application.
4. Type “L”, to display the device list. The device list is actually the list
of ports available on the SMP Gateway, including the console port.
5. Type “M”, to modify the SMP Gateway’s COM port you intend to
use for the dial-up connection.
6. Type the number of the “MODEM device” to be modified. Note that
you cannot specify the number of the console port, as the latter does
not support modem connections.

Device for Incoming Connections. Type “Y” to allow incoming
connections on the port and exit RASMGR.
