Using the Modem feature
NOTE: Requires an RJ45 to DB9 adapter. Please see StarTech.com part number(s):
GC98FF (DB9 Female to RJ45 Female Adapter) or GC98MF (DB9 Male to RJ45 Female)
as applicable.
Background
The modem feature allows the SVxx53DXI to act as an Internet connection server for
increased security and flexibility in connecting with the host computer.
Unlike the TCP/IP connection used with the standard Web configuration and VNC
clients, the modem creates a one-to-one connection between the SVxx53DXI and the
computer you are using to manage the host computer that is essentially private, as it
bypasses the public Internet completely.
Please note that this feature requires both an external modem (most standard
connection protocols are supported) and a dedicated phone line that can be
connected to the modem for external access. While it is possible to use the modem
feature through some PBX systems, this increases the complexity and reduces the
performance of the connection. For clarity, the instructions presented here assume
that the modem is connected to a typical POTS (plain old telephone system) line that is
not routed through a phone management system or shared with other devices. If you
wish to use this feature through a PBX system, it may require some experimentation
and additional support from your telecom services provider, and is not supported by
StarTech.com.
