RE: [FW1] Out of band Nokia 650 management

The console port doesn't support flow control. That's the main reason, I
think. You can try setting up your modem not to use flow control between DCE
(Modem) and DTE (Nokia) using a normal serial cable (not a null modem
cable). Otherwise, search on the internet like 'modem serial terminal
server'. Sorry, can't remember a name. Third opinion: Use a linuxbox, put in
some serial interface cards like from cyclades (www.cyclades.com) like
http://www.cyclades.com/products/svrbas/zseries.htm.

I guess the thing I don't understand is how the box can tell it's a modem
connected to the console port, and not a PC.  I mean, I'm receiving data,
and even get a logon prompt, but I can't send anything back to the box.
 
Also, can you provide me any information on how to build/purchase a
terminalserver box like what you mention?  It seems needlessly complex, but
if that's the only way... *sigh*  I'm shocked really, I thought this would
work similar to plugging a console modem into a Cisco router.

As far as I know, IP650 hasn't got one serial port. The only solution would
be to connect a serial Terminalserver box onto the console port and dial in
to the Terminalserver using a modem.

Does anyone know of any way to connect a modem to the 650s console port for
dialup administration?  When connected through a modem, I see log messages
but cannot get the box to allow a logon.  I've found instructions on Nokia's
site for the 440, but not the 650.  The 440 instructions refer to another
serial port, which is not externally visible on the 650.  Any help is
appreciated.
