12. The IP KVM offers remote access using a telephone line in addition to the standard access over the built in Ethernet adapter The modem needs to be connected to the serial interface of the IP KVM 95 Logically connecting to the IP KVM using a telephone line means nothing else than building up a dedicated point to point connection from your console computer to the IP KVM In other words the IP KVM acts as an Internet Service Provider ISP to which you can dial in The connection is established using the Point to Point Protocol PPP Before you connect to the IP KVM make sure to configure your console computer accordingly For instance on Windows based operating systems you can configure a dial up network connection which defaults to the right settings like PPP The Modem Settings panel allows you to configure the remote access to the IP KVM using a modem The meaning of each parameter will be described below The modem settings are part of the serial settings panel Serial line speed The speed the IP KVM is communicating with the modem Most of all modems available today will support the default value of 115200 bps In case you are using an old modem and discovering problems try to lower this speed Modem Init String The initialization string used by the IP KVM to initialize the modem The default value will work with all modern standard modems directly connected to a telephone line In case you have a special modem or the modem is
