4.0 General Operation and Special Features
Control Procedure (Modem-to-Modem)
Enabling Modem-to-Modem Remote Control Mode
To remotely control a modem connected by a direct phone link,
access REMOTE screen 1 (shown below).
If you select CONTROL, you will be able to control the front panel of the
remote modem from the front panel of the modem you are using. When
you select CONTROL, you will see (on the LCD of the modem you are using)
whatever is currently displayed on the LCD of the remote modem. The
characters on the LCD will be displayed in lower case—this is to let you
know you are actually looking at a “copy” of the LCD of the remote modem.
Buttons pressed on the front panel of the controlling modem will affect the
controlled modem (and not the controlling modem). When you are remotely
controlling another modem, the LCD will not change as quickly as it normally
does.
NOTE
While a Modem 34336 is being remotely controlled by another Modem
34336 or is remotely controlling another Modem 34336, its diagnostic
port cannot be used for other purposes—commands from the diagnostic
port will be ignored.
(You can also access two remote test options from REMOTE 1 screen by
selecting TEST. These test options, remote digital loopback and remote
digital loopback self test, are described in Chapter 7.)
Exiting from Remote Control Mode
To exit from remote control mode, press the ENT pushbutton five times in
succession on the front panel of the controlling modem. (If the remote
modem resets as a result of a configuration change, the local modem will
appear to have no control. To remedy this situation, press the ENT button
five times.)
