SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide 118
Mode
The format in which the data flows back and forth.
With Text selected, the SLB branch office manager
assumes that the modem will be used for remotely logging
into the command line. Text mode is only for dialing in.
This is the default.
PPP establishes an IP-based link over the modem. PPP
connections can be used in dial-out mode (e.g., the SLB
device connects to an external network) or dial-in mode
(e.g., the external computer connects to the network that
the SLB branch office manager is part of) or dial-on-
demand. For ISDN cards, only PPP connections are
allowed.
Initialization Script
Commands sent to configure the modem may have up to
100 characters. Consult your modem’s documentation for
recommended initialization options. If you do not specify
an initialization script, the SLB device uses a uses a
default initialization string of AT S7=45 SO=0 L1 V1 X4
&D2 &c1 E1 Q0.
Note: We recommend that the modem initialization script
always be preceded with AT and include E1 V1 x4 Q0 so
that the SLB branch office manager may properly control
the modem.
Modem Timeout Timeout for modem connections. Select Yes for the SLB
branch office manager to terminate the connection if no
traffic is received during the configured idle time. Enter a
value of from 1 to 9999 seconds.
Caller ID Logging
Select to enable the SLB device to log caller IDs on
incoming calls.
Note: For the Caller ID AT command, refer to the modem
user guide.
Modem Command Modem AT command used to initiate caller ID logging by
the modem.
Note: For the AT command, refer to the modem user
guide.
Data Settings
Baud
The speed with which the device port exchanges data with
the attached serial device.
From the drop-down list, select the baud rate. Most devices
use 9600 for the administration port, so this is the default.
Check the equipment settings and documentation for the
proper baud rate.
Data Bits
Number of data bits used to transmit a character. From the
drop-down list, select the number of data bits. The default
is 8 data bits.
