Operational Messages

Access to all menu tree branches from the DCP begins at the Top-Level menu, the head of the menu hierarchy. The LCD's top line identifies the modem status, as listed in Table 4-3, while the bottom line displays the main menu tree branches and operational and dial access security messages, as listed in Table 4-4 and Table 4-5.

Messages listed in Table 4-4 are common operational messages that occur during modem operation. These messages normally appear on the second line of the LCD.

Messages listed in Table 4-5 are dial access security messages that can occur when the optional security feature is installed.

The Top-Level menu's main branches appear on the LCD in the order of Call Setup, Status, Test, Configure, Control, Security, and Remote. These branches are described in the following chapters.
