4.3 Starting the Control Session

Once you have installed the ASM-60 modems at the central and remote locations, and completed the installation and operation procedures described in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, you can start the control session.

When the communication link between the modems is established, the ASM-60 software identifies the unit type (ASM-60/CO or ASM-60/CPE), and runs the start-up self-test.

During the initialization, the following message is displayed:

Initializing ASM-60/CO or Initializing ASM-60/CPE

If errors were detected during the self-test, ASM-60displays the following message:

Initialization Failed

If the self-test is successful, ASM-60 displays the Main menu (see Figure 4-2).
