Status

Status screens display the current status of the modem. Though limb changes are automatic, certain options can be selected by pressing the Æ button.

You can also use this option to temporarily place the modem in originate mode for back-to-back testing.

MANUAL ANSWER? Places the modem in answer mode for the time specified by register S7. You can use this option to temporarily place the modem in answer mode for back-to-back testing.

BUSY OUT MODEM? Takes the modem out of service by putting it into an off-hook state so that a calling modem receives a busy signal.

MODEM BUSIED OUT. Shows that the modem is busied out. To return the modem to normal service, press Æ, Enter.
