2.2 Choosing modem management method
There are two ways to manage the modem:
•
by the DIP-switches placed on the rear panel of the modem (see
fig.4);
•
by a terminal program via the RS-232C console port.
Both modes have certain advantages over each other so a user is free to
choose either setup mode according to actual requirements for modem
operation.
Setup by switches is described here as the most simple method.
Management by a terminal program is described in Chapter 3.
To use setup by switches, set the SET4 switch to OFF state. For quick
reference use the sticker at the bottom side of the modem enclosure.
2.3 ”Master”/”slave” mode
Two modems operating peer-to-peer must be configured by the SET1 DIP
switch (fig. 3, table 4) such as one modem is set up as a “master” (SET1 is
ON) and another one as a “slave” (SET1 is OFF). We recommend to use
as a “master” the modem which is more accessible for management and
maintenance.
2.4 Setting DSL rate
Fixed rate value is set by dial switch RATE (figures 2 and 4). One of 16
fixed data rates have to be selected by the dial.
2.4.1 Setting DSL rate for remote modem
This feature is available only for modems with firmware version 2.5 or
higher.
