This chapter explains how to dial and answer using a modem. If you use this modem
with a PC, you probably don't need to worry about modem settings. The factory de-
fault should be just right for you. Connect the modem according to the instructions
in chapter 3, install the communication software, make the modem dial as instructed
in this chapter, and you're all set.
Furthermore, an introduction to the panel operation of the Supreme 2864L is pre-
sented. The Supreme 2864L comes with a menu driven 20 2 LCD display. All func-
tions of the modem are displayed and selectable from this menu.
Finally, this chapter will familiarize the user with the menu tree structure. It properly
categorizes the modem operations. Non-LCD model modem users can also consult
the Supreme 2864L panel menu operations, but must use the equivalent AT com-
mands listed in this chapter instead.

LCD Panel

The modem's actions, options, and parameters can be set, changed, and viewed from
the front panel, or viewed and changed through AT commands by the computer or
terminal connected to the modem. We will discuss panel operations in this chapter
with reference to equivalent AT commands. Note that in most cases you will use
your communication software to send AT commands to your modem. Only in very
rare circumstances will it be necessary to use the modem's panel.
Once turned on, the modem goes into the Idle Screen state (except if leased line is
selected). It then waits for commands from a computer/terminal or any key pad op-
eration from the front panel. On the LCD screen, there are four on-screen buttons:
