Modem autoconfiguration
is another method (the preferred method) for configuring modems.
Modem autoconfiguration facilitates the configuration of modems on
access servers. To set up a modem using modem autoconfiguration,
connect the phone line and power cable to the modem, and use the
router's
modem autoconfigure
command on the line attached to the
modem. Most modems require no other setup function.
