Modem Power-Up

Once your modem is properly connected to the DTE,

dial and/or leased lines, and ac outlet, press the modem’s
rear panel power switch to the ON position. The modem
begins a power-up self-test. This test takes several
seconds to perform, and verifies the operation of most
hardware components within the modem. If successful,
the LCD displays Power On Selftst Passed and continues
to the Top-Level menu screen.

If a failure occurs during the self-test, the LCD

displays Power On Selftst Failed for several seconds.
The LCD then displays the Top-Level menu screen with
the message Power on Fail appearing on the top line of
the LCD. Although a failure has occurred, the modem will
attempt to operate. This allows you to activate a more
thorough self-test using the Test branch. Refer to
Chapter 8, Test Branch.
