COMSPHERE 3800Plus Modems

If the modem is to communicate with an installed SDCP, install the modem as described above and perform the following steps:

1. Press the Select key on the SDCP. The cursor appears in the carrier selection entry.

2.Press the F1 (") or F2 () key until the carrier number you want appears on the LCD.

The carrier number selection has a range of 1 to 8 since a single SDCP can control a configuration of up to eight carriers. (This is only possible if the SDU is installed.)

3.Press the key to position the cursor on the slot selection entry.

4.Press the F1 (") or F2 () key until the slot number (1±16) you want appears on the LCD. Ignore the AB designator that appears on the LCD since it is not applicable to the 3811Plus modem.

5. Press the Select key to place the SDCP in direct communication with the selected modem.

The LCD displays the Top-Level menu for the selected modem. In addition, the Front Panel LED on the modem's faceplate lights up.

6.Once you have determined that the modem is installed properly and completed its power-up self-test, rotate the circuit pack lock until it covers the faceplate latch (Figure 3-2). This prevents the modem from accidently being removed once it is installed in a carrier.

7.Configure the modem as described in the following chapter.

Removing and Replacing 3811Plus Modems

It is not necessary to power down the carrier to remove and replace a 3811Plus modem. Perform the following steps:
