DCP Operation

Remote Branch

The Remote branch of the Top-Level menu allows you to control the remote modem's DCP using the local modem's DCP. This function allows you to change configuration options and control test functions in a remote modem. Any changes made to configuration options while using the Remote branch are not saved until you exit the Remote branch. This function is only available when using either V.32 terbo, V.32bis, V.32, TMp, V.33, or V.29 modulation schemes.

The following conditions must be met before using the Remote branch:

•A connection using either leased lines or the dial network must be established.

•The Access from the Remote configuration option must be enabled in the remote modem.

•In point-to-point networks, the Remote Access Password configuration option must be the same for both the local and remote modems. In multipoint networks the remote access password must be entered at the appropriate prompt.

•For multipoint control modems, the network management address of the tributary modem must be entered at the appropriate prompt.

Remote DCP access is accomplished using either the primary or secondary channel (if available) of the VF line. Using the primary channel gives a much faster response time due to the higher data rate, but it also interrupts data flow because primary data is stopped when Remote mode is active. Once Remote mode is terminated, the primary channel is automatically made available for data transmission.

Unlike primary channel communications, the secondary channel operates at a slower data rate and does not interrupt data flow. (V.32 terbo, V.32bis, V.32, and TMp are the only modulations available for the secondary channel.)
