appropriate communication settings for your modem and click the Save button. Note that
a modem can be used only on COM-port 2.
Communication Settings
Modem Type -
Select a modem from the list of supported V.90 compatible modems in the
drop-down list - selecting Generic if the modem you want to use does not appear in the
list.
Note:
Although most external modems are known to work well with the AXIS 2460,
only the modems listed in the drop-down list have been fully tested.
Disable Incoming Calls -
Check this box if you do not want your modem to answer incoming
calls.
Flow Control -
Synchronizes the connected modems. Hardware flow control is accomplished
by enabling the Control to Send (CTS) and Return to Send (RTS) signals for the serial
interface. If using Software control, the modems will still be synchronized, but the flow
control will use XON/XOFF. If using NONE, there will be no synchronization.
Baud Rate (bps) -
Set the baud rate for the connected modem.
Init String -
This defines the Attention Code (AT) command sent when starting the dial-up
connection, to initialize the connected modem. Using the Attention Code ATz (the common
code for initializing most commercial modems), the Network DVR will normally configure
the port settings for the connected modem automatically.
