Note

V.90 modem is only supported on certain EdgeMarc devices.

You can use the V.90 Modem Settings page to configure the V.90 out-of-band management console. A remote user can use a modem to dial into the system. Once modem negotiation is complete, the remote user is prompted for a system password. After the remote user has logged in, they have the same access as someone logged into the serial console port on the system.

To Configure the V.90 Modem Settings

  1. Choose Admin > V.90 Modem.
