Then, you configure the modem by entering commands from the Attention (AT)
command set and, if applicable, setting the configuration switches on the modem.
Although the process to configure the modem may vary from one modem to
another, configure your modem so that its resulting behavior is as follows:
• Answers a call on the first ring
• Disables both hardware and software flow control mechanisms
• Ignores modem control signals DTR and RTS
• Suppresses echoing of command mode input
• Disables recognition of AT commands
Cabling a Modem to the CSS
After you configure the modem, unplug the flat rolled RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable from
the terminal adapter on the PC and connect the cable to the SCM console port of
the CSS. On a CSS 11503 or CSS 11506, the console port is on the SCM (see
Figure C-1). If you have two SCMs installed in the CSS, make sure that you
connect the cable to the active SCM.
