The modem responds by beeping whenever a key is pressed.

• A single beep indicates that the key pressed was a valid entry, and the

appropriate action was taken.


• A double beep when a key is pressed indicates an invalid entry.


The modem front panel control uses a tree structured menu system (Tables 4-1 through
4-6) to access and execute all functions. The base level of this structure is the sign-on
message, which is displayed at the front panel upon modem power-up.

• Line 1 of the sign-on message is the modem model number.
• Line 2 is the version number of the firmware implemented in the modem.


The main level of the menu system is the Select menu, which may be accessed from the
base level by pressing any of the arrow keys. From the Select menu, any one of five
functional categories can be chosen:

• Configuration
• Monitor
• Faults
• Stored faults (StFaults)
• Utility
