Modem Health

Contact your service representative.
Make sure the modem's ON/Off switch is in the ON position.
Make sure the ac power transformer is connected to the ac power receptacle.
If Power LED and/or LCD do not operate, contact your service representative.
Perform a self-test via the modem's DCP or type AT&T9 if using AT commands.
Perform a local analog loopback with a Pattern test. If the modem consistently registers errors,
contact your service representative.
If the modem passes the above tests and a problem still exists, then the problem is likely not
with your modem.

character loss, random errors, or constant format errors,
use the loopback tests described in Chapter 8, Test

in your system by using the process of elimination. If
problems continue to occur, contact your service
representative.
