Modem Power-Up

Once your modem is properly connected to the DTE, dial and/or leased lines, and ac outlet, press the modem's rear panel power switch to the ON position. The modem begins a power-up self-test. This test takes several seconds to perform, and verifies the operation of most hardware components within the modem. If successful, the LCD displays Power On Selftst Passed and continues to the Top-Level menu screen.
