VF

VF displays the condition of the dial or leased-line connection.

To access VF from the Status branch, press F1 to select VF.

The modem's signal quality is displayed on the LCD's

bottom line. Press the key to scroll and view the receive signal level, signal-to-noise ratio, near end echo, far end echo delay, and echo frequency offset. Values

displayed are approximations that may be affected by the combination of impairments on the line.

NOTE

SigQual, NearEcho, FarEcho, FarEchDel, and EchoFreqOff values appear only for V.34, V.32terbo, V.32bis, and V.32 modulations.

SigQual	Signal Quality indicates the
	condition of the VF line.
	Possible values are Excelent
	(Excellent), Good, Fair, Poor,
	or No Signal.
RcvLev	Receive Signal Level
	indicates, in decibels
	referenced to one milliwatt
	(dBm), the actual strength of
	the incoming signal.
Sig/Noise	Signal-to-Noise Ratio
	indicates, in decibels, the
	receive signal strength relative
	to noise on the line.
NearEcho	Near End Echo displays the
	signal level, in decibels
	referenced to one milliwatt
	(dBm), of that portion of the
	transmit signal which has been
	echoed back by the local line
	termination.
FarEcho	Far End Echo displays the
	signal level, in decibels
	referenced to one milliwatt
	(dBm), of that portion of the
	transmit signal which has been
	echoed back by the remote
	line termination.
FarEchDel	Far End Echo Delay indicates
	the roundtrip delay in
	milliseconds of the far end
	echo.
EchoFreqOff	Echo Frequency Offset
	indicates the frequency offset
	of the far end echo.

To exit VF and remain in the Status branch, press the key. To exit and return to the Top-Level menu, press
