3460 Fast’R

Network Management (AT*NE)

The 3460 Modem offers an in-band secondary channel for network management commands, so you can configure modems while data transmission continues.

Secondary channel mode functions only between 3460 Fast’R modems with Release 2.0 or higher software. It is not compatible with other Motorola modem secondary channel modes or competitor modem secondary channel modes.

The AT*NE command controls secondary channel operation.

Zero (0) enables the secondary channel. This is the default option.

One (1) disables the secondary channel.

You can enable and disable the secondary channel through the AT ACU, Fast’RVu (Commands menu), or an NMS. The option is saved in non-volatile memory.

Secondary-channel communication is available when both modems are in the following modes:

V.34 modulation mode (at any primary-channel data rate)

V.32 modulation mode, except 4.8 KBPS

Direct, Normal, V.42, MNP, and LAPM data modes, with or without data compression

Secondary-channel communication is not available during LAL, LAL pattern, and DBER tests.
