Modem Connection Monitoring
Whether you have modem banks or a dialup security status modem, you want to
make sure that when a request to negotiation a modem handshake is made, that
it succeeds.
The IPSentry Modem Connection add-in is a specialized feature intended for
systems requiring dial in modem connections.
This add-in allows you to perform basic dial + handshake modem based tests
to ensure that you can establish a modem based connection to the remote
modem.
With the basic modem scripting option, you can add simple send/receive
functionality after an established connection for more specialized
situations where modem based dialogue may be required such as user login
functionality.
This functionality is ideal for testing dialup terminal servers and provides
with confidence that:
- Your customers are not receiving BUSY signals.
- Your customers are not receiving RNA's (Ring No Answer)
- Your terminal servers are requesting login credentials.
- Your authentication system is functioning properly.
- Your Security / Emergency system outbound phone line is available.**
**Today, many security monitoring systems use POTS (or PSTN) lines to send
communicate alert condition regarding fire and theft alerts. What if the
lines are down and the system can't make the call? Enter an inexpensive
modem, sitting in auto-answer mode on the same line. For about $400 invested
in a Modem, IPSentry, this add-in, and a small UPS to keep the modem powered
up for an hour during a power outage, you might just save yourself
thousands, millions, or even save a life by making sure the telephone line
is always up for the emergency and security systems to dial the outbound
alert when a security problem is detected. Dial out on one line, inbound on
your security line, and if no connection can be established - there's a
problem and you will know about it.
*Always check with your security and emergency systems service provider for
their advice and recommendations to determine if this type of activity is
compatible with your existing configuration before adding any devices to
your emergency outbound lines.

download.
