Caution!
Incorrect connection of the external modem can
result in unauthorized access. Verify that the cabling

modem setup is tested. Refer to the Octel Overture

information.
Once the modem connection is established, press Enter until the password prompt appears, and follow
the procedures in the Communicating with the Message Server section of this chapter.
Connecting to the Internal Modem
The Octel Overture 200/300 has an internal 300/1200/2400-baud modem. The internal modem can be
connected either by entering
# # # 5 when the Octel Overture 200/300 answers or through a
modem-access mailbox.
Connecting to the Internal Modem Using # # # 5
Connect the message server to the internal modem, as follows:
1. Call the Octel Overture 200/300.
2. When the Octel Overture 200/300 answers, enter # # # 5 .
3. After you hear the high-pitched tone, enter the code to connect to the modem (ATD). The code can
vary, depending on the interface and modem manufacturer. If you do not hear a high-pitched tone,
repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Hang up the receiver if step 3 was successful.
The Octel Overture 200/300 automatically adjusts to the modem’s baud rate, which must be 300, 1200, or
2400 baud.
Modem-Access Mailboxes
To provide additional system security, access to the internal modem can be restricted to specific
modem-access mailboxes.
To create a modem-access mailbox, assign COS Attribute 118 — PROVIDE MODEM TONE WHEN
MAILBOX IS CALLED, and Attribute 3 — ASK FOR SECURITY CODE BEFORE CALLING
EXTENSION, to the mailbox COS. The mailbox should have a security code assigned before attribute 3
is added.
To use # # # 5 to block access to a modem, set System Parameter 223 — DISABLE ###5 ACCESS
TO THE MODEM, to YES.
After the modem-access mailbox is created, perform the following steps to connect to the internal modem
through the modem-access mailbox:
1. Call the Octel Overture 200/300.
2. When the company greeting plays, enter the mailbox number of the modem-access mailbox.
