Understanding the modem controls and displays
**covered in modem user guide?**
You control the modem by using the buttons on the front panel of the modem to
change menus and select menu items displayed on a small LCD screen. The
buttons do the following:
Single Up Arrow moves up one level in the menu tree.
Double Up Arrow moves to the top level of the menu tree.
Left Arrow moves to the previous choice at the current level of the menu
tree.
Right Arrow moves to next choice at the current level of the menu tree.
F1 selects the choice displayed above F1.
F2 selects the choice displayed above F2.
F3 selects the choice displayed above F3.
For our purposes, the on-screen prompt strap group indicates a collection of
related configuration settings.
Modem menus can be confusing because you only get to see one or two
headings or items at a time. The modem also has a limited set of command
words, so many of them have to be used more than once, and commands seem
to be repeating themselves. This can be confusing. To avoid missing a step,
check the values on the display after you enter a command, and make sure the
result agrees with that listed in the corresponding step in the instructions.
Creating an editable configuration set
It is generally easiest to configure the modem by starting from the default, factory
configuration. You then change only those settings that are different for a
DEFINITY installation.
Copying factory default settings
Make a copy of the default, factory configuration using the following procedure.
1. On the front panel of the COMSPHERE 3910, press the F2 button to select
Configure.
The Ld EditArea frm > prompt appears.
2. Press the right-arrow button four times.
The Factory menu item appears.
NOTE:
The arrow and function buttons described in this section are located
on the front panel of the modem, not on a PC keyboard or terminal.
