I am deploying a 2621XM router to a branch office. &nbsp;I want to connect a modem to the Auxilliary port for OOB access to the router. &nbsp;What do I need to set up on the modem ? &nbsp;I appreciate there is a seperate section for modems but I think that this question is better suited here. &nbsp;I suspect that there may some change in the initialisation string of the modem required from what I have been told. &nbsp;Could someone help please ? &nbsp;The router as I said is a 2621XM and the modem I want to use is a Multitech MT5634ZBA (Global) for use in germany.........<br />

Connecting a Modem to Cisco 2621XM

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
