RSC Serial Port

You can connect a dedicated RSC modem to the RSC serial port. Use of a modem with dialback support is a secure option for allowing remote access to RSC.

Use of a modem on the RSC serial port is required for sending alerts to pagers. If you are concerned about dial-in security over the serial port, you can use a modem or phone line that supports dial-out only.

To use the RSC GUI, users must have RSC client software installed on their machines. If the modem uses a dialback option, users must dial in to the modem from a designated phone number.

You can set RSC to disconnect sessions on the serial port after 10 minutes of inactivity. If point-to-point protocol (PPP) is not enabled on the serial port, only one user at a time can connect to the RSC serial port.
