Connecting to a Modem
ToconnectamodemtoaB5Consoleport,useaUTPserialinterfacecableterminatedwithaDB9
femaleconnectorandaDB25maleconnectorandproceedasfollows:
1. ConnecttheDB9femaleconnectoratoneendofthecabletotheConsoleportDB9connector
ontheB5switch.
(Ifthereisaswitchdesignatedasthemanager,connecttoitsConsoleport.)
2. PlugtheDB25maleconnectorattheotherendofthecableintothemodemcommunications
port.
3. TurnonthemodemandmakesuretheremotemodemisON.
4. WithyourPCconnectedtotheremotemodem,configure
yourVTemulationpackage with
thefollowingparameters:
