Configuring Dial-Out
Dial-out through the OnSite is required by certain applications used in
computer management that poll devices for status or other information. The
OnSite supports dial-out through GPRS (GSM) and 1xRTT (CDMA) wireless
PCMCI cards. For PCMCIA card slot 1, the device name is ttyM1; for slot 2,
the device name is ttyM2.
The dial-out application connects the port to a remote TCP socket at the
specified IP address through a wireless phone network service and an Internet
access service.
Prerequisites for Dial-Out Through the OnSite
The prerequisites for dial-out through the OnSite are shown in the following
list:
• A CDMA or GSM/GPRS PCMCIA card must be installed and
configured.
• The CDMA or GSM wireless phone service must be available.
• An Internet access service must be available.
Tasks for Configuring Dial-Out
The OnSite administrator needs to do the following tasks on the command
