Modem Control Effect
When modem control is enabled for a port, the PortMaster interprets the carrier detect (DCD) signal as follows according to the type of ports:
|
Login |
If carrier is not asserted, the port is unavailable. If carrier is asserted, the PortMaster initiates authentication and displays a login prompt. |
|
Device |
If carrier is not asserted, the port is unavailable. If carrier is asserted, the port is available for the device service. |
|
Twoway |
If carrier is not asserted, the port is available for device services. If carrier is asserted, the port attempts to establish a network connection and disable the device service. |
|
Network Hardwired |
If carrier is not asserted, the port is unavailable. If carrier is asserted, the port attempts to establish a network connection. |
|
Network Dialin |
If carrier is not asserted, the port is unavailable. If carrier is asserted, the PortMaster initiates authentication and displays a login prompt. |
|
Network Dialout |
The assertion of carrier has no effect, but the transition of carrier from asserted to not asserted causes the port to be reset. |
|
Network Twoway |
If carrier is not asserted, the port is available for network dialin. If carrier is asserted, the port attempts to establish a network connection and disable the network dialin. |
