Out of band management (modem) for the IDS 4210

[msmitha]

Has anyone used a modem and telephone line with the IDS-4210 for out-of-band management?

Are there any special considerations? The IDS-4210 has a serial port in the rear and one more in the front. What is the serial port in the front? Can I use it to connect my modem?

Hi,

The following link will help.

Note the modem setup procedures AND the BIOS setup. Make sure you have the modem plugged into the correct port on the sensor.

There's pictures of the sensor here

scroll up a little bit) which highlights the COM1 port to use.

Hope this helps.

The COM1 port is on the rear of the chassis.
