Modem and resource requirements
The Electronic Service Agent™ (ESA) and Electronic Customer Support service configurations created during activation may be PTP (Point-to-Point) TCP/IP Universal Connection-based. The modem and resource requirements for a PTP configuration are listed below.
Modem requirements
The point-to-point functions that can be set up depend on your modem and resource. Refer to the table later in this topic to determine the functions. If you want to use this modem for problem-reporting and service information transmission functions, Electronic Customer Support must also be configured to use TCP/IP, not Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) or Systems Network Architecture (SNA) communications.
Modem in asynchronous mode
Typically, the default modem setting data set ready (DSR) must be overridden. For a System i® platform that is to detect a hang-up disconnection (modem has hung up), DSR must be set to follow Carrier Detect (CD). Refer to the modem manual for more information.
Communications I/O adapter requirements
Adapter | Description |
---|---|
2699 | Two-line WAN IOA. This IOA requires either a 2629 LAN/WAN/Workstation IOP or MFIOP. |
2720 | PCI WAN/Twinaxial IOA. |
2721 | PCI Two-line WAN IOA. |
2742 | Two-line communications IOA. |
2745 | PCI Two-line WAN IOA (replaces IOA 2721). |
2771 | Two-port WAN IOA, with a V.90/V.92 integrated modem on port 1 and a standard communications interface on port 2. To use port 2 of the 2793 adapter, an external modem with the appropriate cable is required. |
2772 | Two-port V.90 integrated modem WAN IOA. |
2793 | Two-port WAN IOA, with a V.92 integrated modem on port 1 and a standard communications interface on port 2. To use port 2 of the 2793 adapter, an external modem with the appropriate cable is required. |
2805 | Four-port V.92 integrated modem WAN IOA. |
576C | Two-port WAN IOA, with a V.92 integrated modem on port 1 and a standard communications interface on port 2. To use port 2 of the 576C adapter, an external modem with the appropriate cable is required. |
