Appendix F. Modem Configurations
Attention: This appendix applies only to modems attached to serial ports S1 and S2 located on the CEC
backplane (location U0.1-P1).
The service processor is designed to place little demand on an attached modem, thereby increasing the
setup and connection success rates.
Sample Modem Configuration Files
This appendix contains information about several sample modem configuration files that either work
directly with your modem or provide a good starting point for a custom setup.
The sample modem configuration files are located in your service processor firmware in the
/usr/share/modems subdirectory (if your system / server is running AIX) with the following names. A listing
of each specific file is included in this appendix.
Generic Modem Configuration Files
AIX File Name Service Processor Firmware File Name
modem_z.cfg modem_z_sp
modem_z0.cfg modem_z0_sp
modem_f.cfg modem_f_sp
modem_f0.cfg modem_f0_sp
modem_f1.cfg modem_f1_sp
Specific Modem Configuration Files
AIX File Name Service Processor Firmware File Name
modem_m0.cfg modem_m0_sp
modem_m1.cfg modem_m1_sp
Use the following selection procedures and your modem manual to determine which of the configuration
files is suitable for your use.
Configuration File Selection
Use the following steps to select a configuration file:
1. Is your modem an IBM 7852-400?
If Yes, use modem configuration file modem_m0.cfg and go to step 7 on page 598.
Note: The IBM 7852-400 modem has DIP switches on the right side of the unit. See “IBM 7852-400
DIP Switch Settings” on page 600 for the correct switch settings.
If No, continue with step 2 on page 598.
