Basic Configuration
5.9.2.1. ModemPooling
The "Modem Hunt Telnet" and "Modem Hunt Raw" parameters allow the TSM/RSM to
support modem pooling in conjunction with third party Serial Port Redirector software.
This allows you to connect external modems to several TSM/RSM serial ports, and
then use the TSM/RSM to automatically find a free modem when you need to create an
outbound connection.
The Modem Hunt Telnet and Modem Hunt Raw options function as follows:
ModemHuntTelnet: Offers three different configuration options: "Off" (Disabled),
"On - No Password" and "On - Password." Each of the "On" options selects a default
port number for modem pooling:
• On - No Password: Uses port number 2300.
• On - Password: Uses port number 2100. Note that when the password is enabled,
you will be prompted to enter a valid TSM/RSM username and password.
ModemHuntRaw: Offers three different configuration options: "Off" (Disabled),
"On - No Password" and "On - Password." Each of the "On" options selects a default
port number for modem pooling:
• On - No Password: Uses port number 3300.
• On - Password: Uses port number 3100. Note that when the password is enabled,
you will be prompted to enter a valid TSM/RSM username and password.
In order to use Modem Pooling functions, the TSM/RSM must be configured as follows:
• Telnet Access and/or Raw Socket Access must be enabled (Network Parameters
Menu.)
• Modem Hunt Telnet and/or Modem Hunt Raw must be enabled (Network
Parameters Menu.)
• The Port Mode (Port Parameters Menu) for each TSM/RSM serial port attached to
an external modem must be set to "Modem Mode."
• Direct Connect must be enabled (Port Parameters Menu) for each TSM/RSM serial
port attached to an external modem.
In addition, you must also acquire the following information from the TSM/RSM and
enter it into your Serial Port Redirector software:
• The Port Number (shown above) for the desired TSM/RSM Modem Hunt Telnet or
Modem Hunt Raw option.
• The IPv4 or IPv6 format IP address for the TSM/RSM unit.
To create an outbound modem connection, start your communications program (e.g.,
Hyperterminal, TeraTerm, etc.), select the virtual COM port that was defined via your
Serial Port Redirector software and then place a call as you normally would.
