Section 5 IP Access Configuration & Operation
58
Serial line speed
The speed the CAT-32 IP is communicating with the modem. Most modems available today
will support the default value of 115200 bps. In case you are using an old modem and
discovering problems try to lower this speed.
Modem Init String
The initialization string used by the CAT-32 IP to initialize the modem. The default value will
work with all modern standard modems directly connected to a telephone line. In case you
have a special modem or the modem is connected to a local telephone switch that requires
a special dial sequence in order to establish a connection to the public telephone network,
you can change this setting by entering a new string. Refer to your modem’s manual about
the AT command syntax.
Modem server IP address
This IP address will be assigned to the CAT-32 IP during the PPP handshake. Since it is a
point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is possible but you must make sure, it
is not interfering with the IP settings of the CAT-32 IP and your console computer. The
default value will work in most cases.
Modem client IP address
This IP address will be assigned to your console computer during the PPP handshake.
Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is possible but you must
make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the CAT-32 IP switch and your console
computer. The default value will work in most cases.
Pass-through access to serial port via Telnet
Using this option, it is possible to connect an arbitrary device to the serial port and access it
(assuming it provides terminal support) via Telnet. Select the appropriate options for the serial
port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the CAT-32 IP.

Date And Time
Here you can set the internal real-time clock of the CAT-32 IP. You can adjust the clock
manually or use an NTP timeserver. Without a timeserver your time setting will be lost if the
CAT-32 IP is powered down for more than a few minutes. To avoid this, you can use an NTP
timeserver which sets up the internal clock automatically to the current UTC time. Because the
NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting that allows you to set up a static offset to get
your local time.
Note:
The KVM over IP module does not adjust to daylight saving time automatically. So you
have to set up the UTC offset according to the local conventions of your country.
