Modem 34336
Remote control through a rack controller is an especially valuable capability
for modem used in high-density 16-slot enclosures. The low-profile modems
specially designed for these racks are manufactured without an LCD user
interface or control pushbuttons. One way to access the low-profile modems
to monitor, test, or configure tham is by using the modem-control feature
described below.
The controlling modem must be a Modem 34336 equipped with a front-panel
LCD and pushbuttons. (Low-profile rackmount versions of these modems
cannot be used as controlling modems because they do not have LCDs and
pushbuttons.) The controlling Modem 34336 can control another Modem
34336.
Control Procedure (Using a Rack Controller)
Enabling Remote Control through a Rack Controller
The main screen used to control other modems through a rack controller
is REMOTE screen 2 (shown below).
This screen is used as follows:
1. Select address control or slot control—To control a modem in the
same rack as the controlling modem, or to control a connected remote
modem, you must first specify the address or slot number (location in
the rack) of the modem you want to control. If you want to specify the
modem by its address, select ADDR/C (address control) on the bottom
line of REMOTE screen 2.
NOTE
Each modem must have a unique address.
If you want to specify the modem by its slot number, select SLOT/C.
(For slot 16, use 00 or 16, whichever is displayed on your modem.) Press
pushbutton 2 to toggle between ADDR/C and SLOT/C (slot control).
