Note If you have active modem calls on the access server before using modem pooling, modem pooling
gracefully applies itself to the access server. Modem pooling first waits for active calls to hang up
before assigning modems to modem pools and directing calls according to DNIS.
Verifying Modem Pool Configuration
To verify the modem configuration, enter the show modem-pool command to display the configuration.
This command displays the structure and activity status for all the modem pools in the access server. See
Table 12 for a description of each display field.
