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 IKVM-8000 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 IKVM-8000 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 IKVM-8000 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 connected to a local

telephone switch that requires a special dial sequence in order

to establish a connection to the public telephone network, you

can change this setting by giving a new string. Refer to the

modem's manual about the AT command syntax.

Modem server IP address

This IP address will be assigned to the IKVM-8000 itself during

the PPP handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection,

virtually every IP address is possible but you must make sure,

it is not interfering with the IP settings of the IKVM-8000 and

your console computer. The default value will work in most

cases.

Modem client IP address

This IP address will be assigned to your console computer

during the PPP handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP

connection, virtually every IP address is possible but you must

make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the IKVM-

8000 and your console computer. The default value will work in

most cases.
