Factory Default Parameters
New modems from the factory have default values placed into the non-volatile memory for operating
parameters. If a Monitor/Control System does not configure the modem automatically via remote
control, the modem can be easily configured from the front panel or through the HTTP interface using
a standard internet browser. To restore the factory default parameters the modem can be powered on
while depressi
ng the “Clear” key. A modem can be returned to the factory default settings by using
the front panel command
<Unit: Config - Recall>
, then editing (or quick edit) and choosing the
“Factory” or “0” selection option.
The most common factory default parameters placed into the non-volatile memory are shown in Table
4-1.

inverted). The XMT Clock now uses a
default “Auto” mode that detects the
proper phasing and applies it.

Lamp-Test Mode
The modem provides a built
–in Lamp-test mode which momentarily lights the display and the LED
indicators to verify they are functioning.
