Top-Level Menu Status and Operational Messages

Access to all menu tree branches from the DCP begins at the Top-Level menu, the head of the menu hierarchy. The LCD's top line identifies the modem status, as listed in Table 3-3, while the bottom line displays the main menu tree branches as well as operational and security messages, as listed in Table 3-4 and Table 3-5.
