Table 8–4 SCM Troubleshooting (Continued)
Symptom
SCM will not answer
when modem is called.
After the system is
powered up, the COM1
port seems to hang and
then starts working
after a few seconds.
New escape sequence
is forgotten.
Possible Cause
On power-up, SCM defers
initializing the modem for
30 seconds to allow the
modem to complete its
internal diagnostics and
initializations.
This delay is normal.
Using the System Control Manager
Suggested Solution
Wait 30 seconds after
powering up the system
and SCM before
attempting to dial in.
Wait a few seconds for
the COM1 port to start
working.
At the SRM prompt,
enter the following:
P00>> SCM show status
The escape sequence is
shown in the output.
Or, reset the system to
factory defaults.
