Configure Branch

After installing a 3821Plus modem, you set its
software configuration options using either the SDCP or
the AT command set. This section describes how to
access and use the Configure branch of the Top-Level
menu via the SDCP.
The Configure branch accesses the Edit Area which is
a work space where you view and change any
configuration options (straps). These configuration
options are loaded to the Edit Area from one of five
configuration option areas: Active (Operating), Active
(Saved), Customer 1, Customer 2, or Factory.
Active (Operating) is a configuration area
containing configuration options currently used by
the modem. When the modem is powered on or
when a save is performed, the contents of Active
(Saved) are loaded into Active (Operating). Any
changes made using AT commands directly affect
this configuration area.
Active (Saved) is a configuration option area
containing the most recently saved changes made
to any configuration options. In the event of power
loss or reset, the modem retrieves these settings
from nonvolatile memory.
Customer 1 and Customer 2 are two additional
configuration areas where you can create and store
additional configurations for specific applications.
Factory is a read-only (unchangeable)
configuration area containing sets of predefined
configuration options for Async Dial, Sync Dial,
Sync Leased (Answer/Originate), UNIX Dial,
3821-A2-GB20-40
and, if ETC is installed, Cellular (Mobile), and
Cellular (PSTN). These sets contain the most
commonly used configuration options for modems
installed in these hardware environments, and give
you a head start in configuring your modem.
If you are using AT commands, a
period of time can exist in which
the contents of Active (Operating)
and Active (Saved) differ. Once
you issue an AT&W0 (write)
command, however, the two
storage areas are identical.
The Configure branch of the Top-Level menu
contains all of the modem's configuration options which
determine how the modem operates. These configuration
options are accessed by scrolling down and across
various levels of the Configure branch.
The Configure branch consists of the following three
levels:
Ld EditArea frm. Allows the selection of the
Active (Operating), Active (Saved), Customer 1,
Customer 2, and Factory configuration areas.
Choosing Factory results in the further display of
the predefined factory templates.
Choose Function. Allows you to make changes
(Edit) to existing configuration options or write
(Save) these changes to either the Active (Saved),
Customer 1, or Customer 2 configuration area.
Edit Strap Group. Contains the software
configuration option groups that determine how
the modem operates.
