Appendix I. Strap Codes
I.1 Strap Codes
The Strap Code is a quick set key that sets many of the modem parameters. For quick setup of
the modem, Strap Codes are very helpful. When a Strap Code is entered, the modem is
automatically configured for the code’s corresponding data rate, overhead, code rate, framing,
scrambler type and modulation.
I.1.1 An example of how to set a strap code
Example: At the Front Panel Menu, depress ‘↓’, then move ‘→’ to the ‘Strap Code’
Submenu and enter #16. The modem will be automatically configured to the parameters shown
below in the highlighted row ‘Strap Code 16’.
For the available strap codes, see Table I-1.
