LMT Port
Log in to the repeater, either with RMC, or with a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal™.
When the login is completed, select Terminal Mode, this will give access to the repeater command prompt in
the same way as with HyperTerminal.
When the repeater prompt is accessible, type in the command
ACCESS MODEM <Enter>.
When typing ACCESS MODEM, the controller will send all the characters that are typed directly out to the
modem port. All characters replied back from the modem will go directly to the LMT port and back to the
computer.
To abort an ACCESS MODEM session, press three ‘-‘ in a row (all three within one second) to come back to
the repeater command prompt.
Note! When accessing the modem port the modem might be configured with “echo off”, meaning that the
characters entered will not be echoed back to the screen. In order to enable “echo”, press Enter.
Type
ATE1 <enter>
(invisible)
The modem replies with
OK
indicating that the echo is enabled. All characters entered will now be echoed back to the terminal program.
5.7.5.2 Trace Modem
For troubleshooting purposes it is possible to trace the actual progress of initializing the modem. This trace is
useful when having problems with the modem initialization.
Go to Terminal Mode and type
TRACE MODEM
