[FW1] Nokia 650 & Console modem?
In attempting to connect a modem to the 650's console port for out
of band management, I've encountered a few problems. I've got the modem
configured with the same DIP switches and register settings we use for the
cisco router console modems, and it kind of works. When connected to the
console port, I can see logging messages indicating when the system reboots,
starts/stops a process, or a user logs on. However, I cannot log in to the
firewall or run any commands on it. I've found a few Nokia knowledge base
articles which discuss the use of console modems, but Neither mention the
650.
The first article, Resolution 924, has the following caution
(regarding a 440);
NOTE: Do not hook up the modem to the console port as there
is a known problem where the unit will have problems booting if there is a
modem connected to the console port
It goes on to say that the modem should be connected to the 2nd serial port.
However, the 650 doesn't have a second serial port, so this doesn't seem to
apply.
The other article, resolution 2148, has this to say about the
console port;
The only out-of-band management on the console port
supported by the Nokia Application Platform is through a terminal server.
Because the console port does not support flow control, any
device which requires flow control signals (such as a modem) will not
function correctly.
Are you aware of any means by which we can connect a modem to the Nokia for
out of band management?
