Troubleshooting
Overview
This appendix points out basic problems that can occur
when operating a 3825Plus modem. Use Tables B-1
through B-6 to check out these problems. If you are
having data communication difficulties, such as periodic
character loss, random errors, or constant format errors,
use the loopback tests associated with the &T command.
With these tests you can usually isolate the fault in your
system by using the process of elimination. If problems
continue to occur, contact your service representative.
If you would like to download the latest 3825Plus
firmware from the Automatic Firmware Download
Center, see the instructions at the end of this chapter. If
you would like to copy the software in your modem to a
remote 3825Plus modem, see the &&P command in
