Select Factory Configuration Options
After the modem passes the power-up self-test,
configure it for operation using one of the factory preset
configurations.
The 3811Plus modems have several factory preset
templates that contain the proper configuration options
(straps) for different environments. Modems are shipped
from the factory with the Async Dial default configuration
options stored in memory. To prepare the modem for use
in the WDG, you must change the factory setting, using
either the SDCP or the AT command &F, as described in
the following sections.
For a better understanding of DCP operation and
factory preset configuration options, refer to the
COMSPHERE 3800Plus Modems User’s Guide.
