6.2.6.7 Modem Identity
The
Modem identifier
is a user-assigned text string that is typically used to uniquely
identify the modem, satellite service or location. It is displayed as the
ID
field on the left-
hand-side of every web page.
6.2.6.8 Submit Mode
Submit mode
is used when reconfiguring modems (particularly remote modems) in order
to simplify the process of synchronising configuration changes at both ends of the link in
order not to break the link while changing multiple control parameters. When submit
mode is active, a Submit button appears on the web user interface as shown in
