Modem Status Messages

Access to all menu tree branches from the SDCP 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 3-1, while the bottom line displays the main menu tree branches and operational and dial access security messages, as listed in Table 3-2and Table 3-3.

Messages listed in Table 3-2are common operational messages that occur during modem operation. These messages normally appear on the second line of the LCD.

Messages listed in Table 3-3are 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 Modem Select, Call Setup, Status, Test, Configure, Control, Remote, and Security.
