Advanced Console Server & RIM Gateway User Manual 93
Note By default the modem port on all Opengear console servers is set with software flow control and the baud rate is
set at:
- 115200 baud for external modems connected to the “Serial DB9 Port” on CM4008, CM41xx, IM42xx and
IM4004-5 console servers
- 9600 baud for the internal modem or external USB modem and for external modems connected to the Console
serial ports which have been reassigned for dial-in access (on SD4001, SD4002, ACM5000 and ACM5500)
When enabling OoB dial-in it is recommended that the Serial Setting be changed to 38400 baud with Hardware
Flow Control
Note You can further configure the console/modem port (e.g. to include modem init strings) by editing
/etc/mgetty.config files as described in the Chapter 14 - Advanced.
Check the Enable Dial-In Access box
In the Remote Address field, enter the IP address to be assigned to the dial-in client. You can select any address
for the Remote IP Address. However it must be in the same network range as the Local IP Address (e.g.
200.100.1.12 and 200.100.1.67)
In the Local Address field enter the IP address for the Dial-In PPP Server. This is the IP address that will be
used by the remote client to access console server once the modem connection is established. Again you can
select any address for the Local IP Address but it must both be in the same network range as the Remote IP
Address
The Default Route option enables the dialed PPP connection to become the default route for the console server
The Custom Modem Initialization option allows a custom AT string modem initialization string to be entered
(e.g. AT&C1&D3&K3)
