Configuring Individual WAN Connections
Configuring terminal-server connections
1 Invoke the terminal-server command-line interface (System > Sys Diag > Term Serv).
The user sees the terminal-server prompt. For example:
ascend%
2 Enter the terminal-server Open command.
ascend% open
Without an argument, the Open command sets up a virtual connection to the first available
digital modem. Alternatively, the user can specify a particular modem by including its slot
and item number as an argument to the command. For example:
ascend% open 7:1
3 Use the standard Rockwell AT commands to dial out on the modem, just as if using a
modem connected directly to a workstation. For example:
ATDT 1V1 ^M
4 To suspend a virtual connection to a digital modem and return to the terminal-server
prompt, press Ctrl-C three times.
5 To resume the suspended virtual connection, enter the Resume command:
ascend% resume
6 To terminate a virtual connection, enter the Close command:
ascend% close
How to use immediate-modem dial-out
Immediate-modem dial-out enables users to access a modem directly by making a Telnet
connection to the specified port. For example, users can access a modem as follows:
1 Telnet to the MAX unit from a workstation, specifying the immediate-modem port
number on the command line. For example:
Telnet max01 5000
where max01 is the system name of the unit and 5000 is the immediate-modem port.
2 Use the standard Rockwell AT commands to dial out on the modem, just as if using a
modem connected directly to a workstation. For example:
ATDT 1V1 ^M
3 Press Ctrl-C to terminate the connection.
Example of dial-out configuration
The configuration in this example enables direct access (immediate modem) on port 5000. To
implement the configuration:
1 Open the Ethernet > Mod Config > TServ Options profile.
2 Enable the use of the modem dial-out and direct-access (immediate-modem) features. For
example:
Ethernet
Mod Config
TServ Options
Modem dialout=Yes
Immediate Modem=Yes
