Creating Modem Connections
You can use modem connections to access a SmartServer remotely and to connect it to a TCP/IP
network so that it can communicate with host devices such as remote SmartServers, OpenLNS
Servers, e-mail servers, time servers, IP-852 Configuration Servers, and Web Connection Target
servers. Modem connections are useful for networks in remote locations where an Ethernet
connection is not readily available. To use a modem connection, your SmartServer must either contain
an internal analog modem or be connected to a third-party external GSM modem via its RS-232 serial
port. In order for your SmartServer to connect to host devices via modem, you must add and configure
one or more dial-out connections to the modem. The dial-out connections you can create consist of
analog, GPRS, and persistent GPRS.
