When the unit is connected to a 1:N switch, a red LED located on the rear panel

labeled “1:N Active!” indicates that caution is required, as there may be DC voltages

and other control signals present on certain pins on the 25-pin Data Interface

connector.

5.2.6.6 Utilities: Circuit-ID

Edit this Modem’s Circuit ID:

()

----------------------------------------

To compose a Circuit ID string – On the bottom line, first use the

◄ ►

arrow keys to select the

alphanumeric character space to edit, and then use the

▲▼

arrow keys to edit that character.

You may use the following characters to compose a Circuit ID string of up to 40 characters in

length or a MetaCarrier Custom Message of 24 characters or less:

[Space] ( ) * + - , . / 0-9 and A-Z.

Press ENTER once you finish composing the Circuit ID string. As created here, in addition to the

front panel VFD, the Circuit ID also appears in the title bar of compatible web browsers for easy

unit identification.

Proper composition of the Circuit ID string is dependent on whether the Carrier ID

(MetaCarrier) feature operation is enabled or disabled (see Sect. 5.2.6.3 Utilities:

CarrID):

1.

With Carrier ID enabled, the first 24 characters of the 40-character Circuit ID

are intended for and sent as the MetaCarrier Custom Message. While you

must limit your MetaCarrier Custom Message to 24 characters or less, the full

40 characters of the Circuit ID will display on the front panel screen saver (see

Sect. 5.1.3.1 Screen Saver).

2.

With Carrier ID disabled, the Circuit ID full 40 character length is available for

creation of the unit identification label that displays on the front panel VFD

screen saver and the Web browser title care.
