Connecting to a Modem
To connect a modem to an Enterasys Networks DFE module COM port ( Figure 3‐11 ), use
a UTP straight‐through cable with RJ45 connectors and an RJ45‐to‐DB25 male adapter,
and proceed as follows:
1. Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the UTP straight‐through cable to the COM
port of the module.
2. Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the UTP straight‐through cable into the
RJ45‐to‐DB25 modem adapter.
3. Connect the RJ45‐to‐DB25 adapter to the communications port on the modem.
4. Turn on the modem.
5. With a PC connected to a remote modem, you can configure the switch remotely. To
accomplish this, you must configure your PC VT emulation package with the
following parameters.
6. When these parameters are set, the Local Management password screen will display.
