Chapter 3 - Using the Front Panel

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. MT5600BA/BL Series User Guide

The MultiModemII’s backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) has two functions: to display the current status of

the modem and to display configuration menus, which are selected using the four pushbuttons on the

front panel.

To select most configuration options, simply display the option in the LCD, and then press the Enter but-

ton to select it. An OPTION SET message appears to confirm the selection. To exit the OPTION SET

message, press any button.

Some options, such as password options and phone number options, require you to enter a character

string. To select a character, press the á

and â buttons. To go to the next character position, press

the à button. To backspace, press the à button before selecting a character. To exit without saving,

press the à button several times. To save a character string, press the Enter button.

The LCD menus have a tree structure with multiple trunks, limbs, branches, and twigs. For a schematic

view, refer to the menu map on the next page.

Trunks are the major divisions of the menu tree. There are seven trunks: Status, Basic Options, Ad-

vanced Options, Remote Configuration, Diagnostics, Phone Number Memory, and Caller ID. Use the á

and â buttons to move between trunks.

Limbs are subdivisions of trunks. Use the à button to move from a trunk onto its first limb, and the á

and â buttons to move between limbs on the trunk.

Branches are subdivisions of limbs. Use the à button to move from a limb onto its first branch, and the

and â buttons to move between branches on the limb.

Twigs are status screens and options that are accessible only from branches. Use the à button to move

from a branch to its first status screen or option; then press the á

and â buttons to move between

options, and press the Enter button to select an option.
