Can anyone explain the concept of out of band management using a modem and a Cisco router? I know that the modem would be connected to the aux port of the router and I've looked at the configuration guides on the Cisco site but I can't see any examples of what tools to use to dial-in to the router etc.<br />
<br />
For example, can I use hyperterminal and a PC with a modem connection to access the router? How is this done?
