MP/8 V.34: Getting Started

In a BBS...

 the MP can be hooked up to a computer

running a BBS via a COM port expansion module.  All
the calls coming in to the BBS will come through a
single unit.

About the MP/8 V.34 modems

This section briefly describes the functions of the Status
Indicators, the  Telco jacks, and the RS-232 jacks.

Status Indicators

The MP/8 V.34 modems display their status using
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are visible from the front.  The
MP/8 V.34 modem has nine LEDs on its front panel.

Figure 1-1.  Front View of the MP/8 V.34.

The Run/Fail LED indicates whether the unit is operating.  The
other  LEDs are numbered 1–8, each number corresponding to
one channel.  The colors indicate the status of each channel as
follows:
