Control Procedure (Modem-to-Modem)

Enabling Modem-to-Modem Remote Control Mode

To remotely control a modem connected by a direct phone link, access REMOTE screen 1 (shown below).

REMOTE<1>

CONTROLTEST

If you select CONTROL, you will be able to control the front panel of the remote modem from the front panel of the modem you are using. When you select CONTROL, you will see (on the LCD of the modem you are using) whatever is currently displayed on the LCD of the remote modem. The characters on the LCD will be displayed in lower case—this is to let you know you are actually looking at a “copy” of the LCD of the remote modem. Buttons pressed on the front panel of the controlling modem will affect the controlled modem (and not the controlling modem). When you are remotely controlling another modem, the LCD will not change as quickly as it normally does.

NOTE

While a Modem 34336 is being remotely controlled by another Modem 34336 or is remotely controlling another Modem 34336, its diagnostic port cannot be used for other purposes—commands from the diagnostic port will be ignored.

(You can also access two remote test options from REMOTE 1 screen by selecting TEST. These test options, remote digital loopback and remote digital loopback self test, are described in Chapter 7.)

Exiting from Remote Control Mode

To exit from remote control mode, press the ENT pushbutton five times in succession on the front panel of the controlling modem. (If the remote modem resets as a result of a configuration change, the local modem will appear to have no control. To remedy this situation, press the ENT button five times.)

4.8.2REMOTE CONTROL THROUGH A RACK CONTROLLER

When installed in a rack enclosure equipped with an intelligent rack controller, the Modem 34336 can be used to control:

Another modem in the same rack or

A remote modem connected to any modem in the rack (address control mode only).
