Assembling the System Console
Connect the Modem
Modems are recommended for primary and backup system consoles.
1. Use the USB cable to connect the modem to the USB port on the front of the
workstation.
2. Connect the modem to the telephone line:
a. Plug one end of the wall-to-modem telephone cable into the telephone wall
jack.
b. Plug the other end of the cable into the LINE connector on the back of the
modem.
3. Connect a telephone adapter if necessary.
4. If instructed to do so by the documentation shipped with the modem, verify the
installation.
If No Modem Is Included
For system consoles that are not used as primary or backup system consoles,
modems are optional. If the system console you are installing does not have a modem,
go to Starting and Testing a System Console on page 5-8.
Caution. To prevent equipment failure and data corruption, plan for the possibility of power
outages. Provide surge suppression or backup power facilities for modems and Ethernet
switches.
Note. To use ISEE, a web-based alternative to modem dial-outs, see the ISEE for NonStop
topic in the Service Information section of the NTL Support and Service Library to learn about
ISEE prerequisites and NonStop-specific details that you will need before downloading and
configuring the ISEE client from the HP Hardware Support Services Web. Authorized service
providers can see ISEE for NonStop- HP Internal on the NTL employee site.
