4.0 General Operation and Special Features

2.Enter the address or slot number—To enter the address or slot number of the modem to be controlled, press pushbutton 3. If ADDR/C is displayed on REMOTE screen 2, a screen showing ADDRESS: 000,000 on the top line will be displayed. If SLOT/C is displayed on REMOTE screen 2, a screen showing SLOT NUMBER: 01 on the top line will be displayed.

Enter the address or slot number as follows: Use the right and left arrow pushbuttons to go to the digit you want to change. Then use pushbutton 1 to decrease (DEC) a number or pushbutton 3 to increase (INC) it.

If SLOT/C is selected, only modems in the same rack as the controlling modem may be specified (slots 1–16). However, if ADDR/C is selected, you can specify any modem in the same rack with the controlling modem or a remote modem connected to any modem in that rack (Figure 4-1). The remote modem may be in a rack without a rack controller, or it may be a standalone modem.

When the address or slot number you want is shown, press ENT. The LCD will return to REMOTE screen 2.

3.Initiate control—After entering the address or slot number of the modem to be controlled, select CTRL from REMOTE screen 2. “CTRL” will flash on and off for about seven seconds until the connection to the specified modem is made. When the connection is made, all characters on the LCD of the controlling modem will be in lower case instead of capitals—this indicates that the screens displayed are for the controlled modem. Buttons pressed on the front panel of the controlling modem will affect the controlled modem (and not the controlling modem).

If the specified modem is not present or is not working, the LCD will display a “NO RESPONSE” message. If a rack controller is not installed on the rack enclosure or is not working, “CTRL” will continue to flash on and off indefinitely (until you exit from the address or slot control mode).

Exiting from Remote Control Mode

To exit from the address or slot control mode, press the ENT button five times in succession. (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.)
