Overview

This chapter describes how to use the diagnostic control panel (DCP) of the 3800 Series modem. It also describes how to select and use each branch of the Top-Level menu tree.

Diagnostic Control Panels

There are two types of DCPs: the front panel on the standalone Model 3810 and Model 3820 modems, and the shared diagnostic control panel (SDCP), an optional feature used with a Model 3811 installed in a COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier. Both DCPs have a two-line, 32-character liquid crystal display (LCD) and keypad through which Top-Level menu branches are accessed to perform the following:

•Initiate and disconnect dial operations

•Check modem status

•Set up configuration options

•Initiate diagnostic tests

•Access remote modems through the local modem’s

DCP

The LCD displays the result of any command initiated using the DCP. Most of these operations can be performed from an attached asynchronous DTE using the

AT command set.
