5.7.3 Cellular routing
Once you have configured carrier connection, the cellular modem can be configured to route traffic through the console
server. This requires setting up forwarding and masquerading - as detailed in Chapter 5.8.
5.7.4 Cellular CSD dial-in setup
Once you have configured carrier connection, the cellular modem can be configured to receive Circuit Switched
Data (CSD) calls.
Note: CSD is a legacy form of data transmission developed for the TDMA based mobile phone systems like GSM. CSD
uses a single radio time slot to deliver 9.6kb/s data transmission to the GSM Network and Switching
Subsystem where it could be connected through the equivalent of a normal modem to the Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) allowing direct calls to any dial-up service. CSD is provided selectively by carriers
and it is important you receive a Data Terminating number as part of the mobile service your carrier provides. This
is the number which external modems will call to access the console server
