How to Configure Teminal for remote modem conection

[Sebastian Perez]

Hi EVERYONE!
I have a rp2430 with hp-ux 11.0
I configured a modem in order to remote access, but I have a big problem when I or someone else try to access, I can get it but in the screen,
the machine now takes the call, but all you can see on the screen when you connect are weird characters.
Current Configuration settings:
Local Console Serial Port bit rate: 9600 bits/s
Local Console Serial Port Flow Control: Software
Local Console Serial Port Terminal Type: hpterm
Remote Console Serial Port Modem Protocol: CCITT
Remote Console Serial Port Modem bit rate:19200 bits/s
Remote Console Serial Port Modem Flow Control: Software
Remote Console Serial Port Modem Transmit Configuration Strings: Enabled
Remote Console Serial Port Modem Presence: always connected.

Thanks for your comments!

Weird characters might be a problem with the modem speed (a.k.a bit rate).

The settings of the GSP and the modem must agree.

Check the modem's settings carefully: normally the modem autodetects the speed of the modem-server connection (DTE speed) when it receives a command string beginning with "AT" or "at". However, when the modem receives the call, it may be switching the DTE speed to something that matches the speed negotiated with the remote modem. This is sometimes called "autobauding" and is a rather obsolete mode of operation.

Nowadays most (maybe all?) modems offer "speed buffering" which means that the DTE speed stays at the autodetected or explicitly set value, regardless of the speed negotiated over the phone line. Usually speed buffering is the default mode, but your modem may have strange (or old-style) defaults.
