Overview

After installing a 392xPlus modem, its software configuration options must be set using the diagnostic control panel (DCP). 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 the configuration options. 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.
