Setting Modem Control
When modem control is on, the PortMaster uses the condition of the carrier detect
(DCD) signal from an attached modem to determine whether the line is in use.
Modem control is off for synchronous connections by default. With modem control set
off, the PortMaster assumes the carrier detect line is always asserted. Table 6-2 describes
the effects of DCD condition on port behavior.
Set modem control on only if you want to use the DCD signal from the attached device.
In general, set modem control on for network dial-in or dial-out configurations. Modem
control is usually off for leased line or Frame Relay connections, but you can use it if the
CSU/DSU is configured accordingly.
To set modem control, use the following command:
Command> set W1 cd on|off
