Troubleshooting Guide

 

In this section we discuss the basic problems that can occur when using 

 

your modem. If you are having data communication difficulties such as 

 

periodic character loss, random errors, or constant format errors: use the 

 

loopback tests described in 

 

AccessBuilder 7000 AT Command Reference

 

. 

 

With these tests you can usually isolate the fault in your system by using 

 

a process of elimination. If a problem continues to occur, contact your 

 

supplier for assistance

 

.

 

M

 

odem Health

 

POWER LED does not light

 

Make sure that the front and rear cards are pushed fully home, and that 

 

the rack enclosure is powered ON.

 

A problem is suspected after the power-up self-test

 

Initiate a local analogue loopback with a pattern test. If the modem 

 

consistently registers errors, contact your modem supplier.

 

If the modem passes these tests and you still have a problem, it is 

 

probably not with your modem.
