Connect a modem to the Console port on the front panel of the Branch Gateway.
Use an RJ-45 serial cable to connect the modem.
Make sure the Console port is properly configured for modem use.
From the remote computer, create a dialup network connection to the Branch Gateway.
Use the TCP/IP and PPP protocols to create the connection. Configure the connection according to the configuration of the COM port of the remote computer. By default, the Branch Gateway uses PAP authentication. If your network has a RADIUS server, you can use RADIUS authentication for the PPP connection.
Open any standard telnet program on the remote computer.
Open a telnet session to the IP address of the Console port on the Branch Gateway.
Configure the serial connection on the remote computer to match the configuration of the Console port on the Branch Gateway.
The Console settings are the same as the USB port settings except for the baud parameter that uses the highest possible setting.
