If you wish to password protect the configuration profile of the 56K LAN Modem,
refer to "Locking and Unlocking the Configuration."
Most users will be able to safely leave the modem control parameters set to their
default values. However, advanced users may wish to further define the manner in
which the LAN Modem operates. This section describes modem control
parameters, and explains modem control configurations.
Each service provider that you configure (up to four) is automatically associated
with its own corresponding modem control profile. If you would like to further
define your modem's performance, you may do so as described in this section. A
description of the modem control parameters is provided followed by instructions
for changing these parameters.
