ASMi-52CD Ver. 1.0 Technical Support 5-13
5.6 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: In which cases is it not possible to perform loops in the ASMi-52
modem via the diagnostic screen?
Answer: There are two possible reasons why the Loops options do not appear in
the diagnostic screen:
1. The modem has an ETH interface, and since there are no loops in ETH this
option does not exist.
2. When two modems are connected as back to back and one of them is in Loop
mode, then in the other modem it is not possible to access the loops
options.
Question: Why can’t I access some fields in the CM-2 Terminal Management
screens?
Answer: In the menus of CM-2, there are some parameters you CAN change in
each menu, and there are some parameters that you can NOT change in each
menu.
This is because the CM-2 manages many different modems, and at RAD we
designed one single interface for all the modem cards inside the LRS-24, no
matter what modem is being managed. That is why you will see that some
parameters are inaccessible for you (because they are accessible for other
modems, not ASMi-52CD, for example).
Please remember to navigate the menus via the TAB key, and to change values by
pressing the "f" (forward) key, and the "b" (backward) key. Press ‘Enter’ to select
the desired value.
