Reset

Reset causes the modem to stop operation and perform a complete program restart. The modem begins the power-up test sequence that ends with the Top-Level menu displayed on the LCD. Configuration options stored in an Active (Saved) configuration area are copied to the Active (Operating) configuration area.

Make Busy or Remove Make Busy

The Make Busy function is available only on 3821-B1 models.

The Make Busy function forces the modem off-hook so it cannot answer a call. This is often used with PBX systems to permit the busy out of a PBX port for rotary or hunt groups.

WARNING

To not violate FCC and DOC regulations, this function must only be used behind a user's PBX.

Service Line or Disconnect Service Line

The Service Line function is available only on 3821-B1 models.

The Service Line function allows you to switch a specific 3821Plus modem installed in a COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier from normal dial operation to service-line operation. This switch only places the modem on the service line. For a connection to be established, you must still use the normal dialing methods as described earlier in this chapter under Call Setup Branch (page 3-9).

A service line is an extra dial line connected to a COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier. This line is normally shared by up to eight 3821Plus cards (24 modems) installed in either Slots 1±8 or Slots 9±16. However, by daisy chaining the service-line connector of one Network Interface Module (NIM) to the service line of another NIM installed in the same carrier, you can permit all

16 cards (48 modems) to share one service line. The service line can also be extended to other carriers in a cabinet. Only one modem may be switched to the service line at a time. For more information regarding daisy chaining of modems to the service line, refer to the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier, Installation Manual.
