as well as the data transfer and bit error rate circuitry.

Auto Originate Mode

The Auto Originate Mode selection verifies that the modem subassembly can dial a remote modem, establish the transmission line carrier, check the transmission line quality, perform data transfer, check bit error rate, and disconnect the transmission carrier.

Auto Answer Mode

The Auto Answer Mode selection verifies that the modem subassembly can receive an incoming dial-up call, establish the transmission line carrier, check the transmission line quality, perform data transfer, check bit error rate, and disconnect the transmission carrier.
