SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 110
Modem Settings: Text Mode
Modem Settings: PPP Mode
Initialization Script Commands sent to configure the modem may have up to 100 characters. Consult
your modem’s documentation for recommended initialization options. If you do
not specify an initialization script, the SLC unit uses a default initialization string of
AT S7=45 SO=0 L1 V1 X4 &D2 &c1 E1 Q0.
Note: We recommend that the modem initialization script always be preceded
with AT and include E1 V1 x4 Q0 so that the SLC 8000 advanced console
manager may properly control the modem. For information on AT commands,
refer to the modem user guide, or do a web search for at command set.
Modem Timeout
Timeout for all modem connections. Select Yes (default) for the SLC un
it to
terminate the connection if no traffic is received during the configured idle time.
Enter a value of from 1 to 9999 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
Caller ID Logging Select to enable the SLC advanced console manager to log caller IDs on
incoming calls. Disabled by default.
Note: For the Caller ID AT command, refer to the modem user guide.
Modem Command
Modem
AT command used to initiate caller ID logging by the modem.
Note: For the AT command, refer to the modem user guide.
Dial-back Number Users with dial-back access can dial into the SLC device and enter their login and
password. Once the SLC 8000 advanced console manager authenticates them,
the modem hangs up and dials them back.
Select the phone number the modem dials back on -a fixed number or a number
associated with their login. If you select Fixed Number, enter the number (in the
format 2123456789).
The dial-back number is also used for CBCP client as the number for a user-
defined number. See Device Ports - Settings (on page 105) for more information.
Dial-back Delay For dial-back and CBCP Server, the number of seconds between the dial-in and
dial-out portions of the dialing sequence.
Dial-back Retries For dial-back and CBCP Server, the number of times the SLC unit will retry the
dial-out portion of the dialing sequence if the first attempt to dial-out fails.
Timeout Logins If you selected Text mode, you can enable logins to time out after the connection is
inactive for a specified number of minutes. The default is No. This setting is only
applicable for text mode connections. PPP mode connections stay connected until
either side drops the connection. Disabled by default.
Dial-in Host List From the drop-down list, select the desired host list. The host list is a prioritized list
of SSH, Telnet, and TCP hosts that are available for establishing outgoing modem
connections or for connect direct at the CLI. The hosts in the list are cycled
through until the SLC 8000 advanced console manager successfully connects to
one.
To establish and configure host lists, click the Host Lists link.
Negotiate IP Address If the SLC unit and/or the serial device have dynamic IP addresses (e.g., IP
addresses assigned by a DHCP server), select Yes. Yes is the default.
If the SLC advanced console manager or the modem have fixed IP addresses,
select No, and enter the Local IP (IP address of the port) and Remote IP (IP
address of the modem).
