3.6.1 Revision Emulation

The modem includes a revision emulation feature that allows the user to program an
emulation mode of a previous functional revision. This feature is accessed through the
Utility Modem Type menu (refer to Chapter 4). The user can emulate Version 1.1.1
through the current version by selecting a functional number at the Rev. Emulation menu
(refer to Table 3-5).

Functional # Software
Version
1 1.1.1
2 2.1.1
3 3.1.1
3 3.1.2
4 4.1.1
5 5.1.1
6 6.1.1
1. Programming a functional number (1 through X) eliminates all changes
(disables new features/options) for the later version numbers. For example,
functional number 3 may eliminate some features/options for Version 4.1.1
or greater.
2. Programming Current Version (default) allows all features and options to
operate (if installed).
3. The user must manually program the functional version on a cold-start
(default is Current Version).
4. Revision emulation will not affect some user interface changes that do not
affect direct operation of the modem. For example: Configuration
Save/Recall; cosmetic changes; Test Mode screen in the Utility System
menu; all Factory Setup modes, and so forth.
