Top-Level Menu Status - Paradyne COMSPHERE 3910 Installation And Operation Manual

All menu tree branches are discussed later in Chapter 3 except for Configure, which is discussed in
Chapter 4, and Security, which is discussed in Chapter 6. Functions that appear on the LCD vary
depending upon the type of model installed, its operating mode, and software configuration.
Top-Level Menu Status and Operational Messages
Access to all menu tree branches from the DCP begins at the Top-Level menu, the head of the
menu hierarchy. The LCD's top line identifies the modem status, as listed in Table 3-3, while the
bottom line displays the main menu tree branches as well as operational and security messages, as
listed in Table 3-4 and Table 3-5.

following values appears after the modem rates listed above: MNP2, MNP3, MNP4, MNP5, V42, V42b,
or NoEC. (NoEC indicates the modem is connected in Buffer mode rather than error control. If an EC
value does not appear, then the modem is in Direct mode.)
*** The Alarm Status Messages only appear when the Normal Operation Status Messages appear; the
LCD alternates between the two message sets.
**** The Training message may also appear in normal Trellis Multipoint (TMp) operation.
