Overview

After installing a 391x Series modem, its software configuration options must be set using either the diagnostic control panel (DCP) or the AT command set. This chapter describes how to access and use the Configure branch of the Top-Level menu via the DCP.

The Configure branch accesses the Edit Area which is a work space where you view and change any configuration options (straps). These configuration options are loaded to the Edit Area from one of five configuration option areas: Active (Operating), Active (Saved), Customer 1, Customer 2, or Factory.

•Active (Operating) is a configuration area containing configuration options currently used by the modem. When the modem is powered on or when a save is performed, the contents of Active (Saved) are loaded into Active (Operating). Any changes made using AT commands directly affect this configuration area.

•Active (Saved) is a read from and write to configuration option area containing the most recently saved changes made to any configuration options. In the event of a power cycle or reset, the modem retrieves these settings from nonvolatile memory.

•Customer 1 and Customer 2 are two additional read and write (changeable) configuration areas where you can create and store additional configurations for specific applications.

•Factory is a read-only (unchangeable) configuration area containing six sets of predefined configuration options labeled Sync Leased, Async Leased, TMp (Trellis Multipoint), Async Dial, Sync Dial, and UNIX Dial. If Sync Leased or Async Leased is selected, you must choose either Answer or Originate mode. If TMp is selected, you must choose either Control or Trib (Tributary) mode. These sets contain the most commonly used configurations options for modems installed into these hardware environments. These predefined configuration options are intended to give you a head start and only require a minimum of changes to the default settings. Factory default settings are listed in Appendix F.
