IMPORTANT

Only one method of remote access may control the modem at a time. The modem may
be monitored over the remote control bus at any time (i.e., queries only), and the front
panel may be viewed.

To make configuration parameter changes from the front panel, local mode is required.
Via serial remote, remote mode is required, and via IP, Ethernet remote is required.
