Configuring a Modem
You must configure the modem before you can connect it to the GSS. You can
connect the modem to a terminal or a PC using a terminal emulation program,
such as Hyperterminal. If you connect the modem to the COM port on a PC, you
need the following cable and connectors:
RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rolled cable
RJ-45-to-DB-25 modem adapter
DB-9-to-RJ-45 terminal adapter
Figure B-1 shows the pin number assignments for the 9-pin, male D-shell console
port connector on the back of the GSS. These pin number assignments conform to
the industry standard.
