To access VF from the Status branch, press F1 to
select VF.
The modem’s signal quality is displayed on the LCD’s
bottom line. Press the
key to scroll and view the
receive signal level, signal-to-noise ratio, near end echo,
far end echo delay, and echo frequency offset. Values
displayed are approximations that may be affected by the
combination of impairments on the line.
NOTE
SigQual, NearEcho, FarEcho,
FarEchDel, and EchoFreqOff
values appear only for V.34,
V.32
terbo, V.32bis, and V.32
modulations.

condition of the VF line.
Possible values are Excelent

(dBm), the actual strength of
the incoming signal.
Sig/Noise
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
indicates, in decibels, the
receive signal strength relative
to noise on the line.

transmit signal which has been
echoed back by the local line
termination.
FarEcho
Far End Echo displays the
signal level, in decibels
referenced to one milliwatt
(dBm), of that portion of the
transmit signal which has been
echoed back by the remote
line termination.
FarEchDel
Far End Echo Delay indicates
the roundtrip delay in
milliseconds of the far end
echo.
EchoFreqOff
Echo Frequency Offset
indicates the frequency offset
of the far end echo.
