MODEM 32144
3. Options: Customizing the Modem
3.1 Methods for Selecting Options
The modem allows you to easily
select options in order to tailor
the modem's operation to suit a
particular application. Options
can be selected in any of the
following ways:
• Quick Setup. This is the easiest
way to set up the modem.
Quick Setup (explained in
Chapter 2) automatically sets
all options according to a
preset configuration.
• Front-panel option selection.
This is the easiest and most
commonly used method for
selecting individual option
choices. Typically you would
select an overall configuration
via Quick Setup and then
modify it to suit your
application by changing
selected options from the front
panel. Changes are made by
accessing individual option
screens on the front panel LCD
and then making selections
using the control pushbuttons.
(An alternate way to change
options from the front panel is
to use the modem's Summary
Setup feature, which is
described below.)

Setup
• Summary Setup. This is the
fastest way to selectively change
multiple options. All options
are accessed using just a few
of the LCD screens. However,
because these screens show
numerical codes with very little
explanation, Summary Setup
is recommended only for
experienced users. Summary
Setup is explained in Appendix
B.
3.2 Front-Panel Options
This chapter describes the standard
instead of selecting options from
the front panel. An alternate
method for selecting options from
the front panel (Summary Setup)
is explained in Appendix B.
3.2.1 P
USHBUTTONS AND THE
Options are selected from the front
panel by pressing the front panel
pushbuttons (Fig. 3-1). The
possible choices for each option
are shown on the liquid-crystal
display (LCD).
