Im trying to set up a 3640 router with a 4B S/T and digital modem card as an out of band management solution. A number of our routers have US Robotics 56k modems connected to their aux ports, and I would like to have a central OOB router to dial them. Most Cisco configs appear to deal with dial in, and the ones on dial out use dialers, ip addresses etc. All I want to do is reverse telnet to the modem in question, and manually dial a PSTN number, but I cannot seem to find a way to bind the async Ifs / lines to use the BRI.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

If you are going to reverse telnet into a modem & dial out using ATDT, we do not need to configuring asyn interfaces. NOTE, this is an exec session, if we had to do ppp then we will need the async interfaces.
Under the line all that we need is "transport in all".
The modem call will go out the BRI in a descending order by default (say bri 1/3 (both channels) then bri1/2, bri1/1, bri1/0)...we can alter this by CLI if need be))
We need to be sure the BRI is configured correctly & looks good in "sh isdn status"

SOrry, i need a bit more information than that. BRI config looks ok to me (basic, but if you say no PPP needed then its just and sh isdn stat is fine)
!
interface BRI1/3
no ip address
no ip directed-broadcast
isdn switch-type basic-net3
isdn incoming-voice modem
no cdp enable
!
line 97
modem InOut
transport input all
transport output pad v120 telnet rlogin
!
If i turn on modem, isdn q931 debugs and telnet to the modem, then try and dial, all i get is DS1 network inaccessible? I dont see the BRI do anything.

My bad, we need to add "modem dialout interface BRI x/y". NOTE: we can add multiple commands under the same line pointing to different BRI interfaces (see config below) & do not really need any other configs on the BRI interfaces.
interface BRI4/0
no ip address

interface BRI4/1
no ip address

Thanks Mak, but i cant find an IOS that supports the modem dialout BRI command? Cant find it on command lookup either... Its a 3640 were tryingt on, have tried right up through 12.2 Enterprise feature set with no luck. Is it a special release?
Thanks a lot,
