Modem Test Procedures

Remote Digital Loopback

This test checks the local and remote modems and the telephone circuit.
The test is only functional when the Modem is set to direct mode (&Q0)
and the COM port baud rate is set to 14400 bps (Trumpcard 14400) /
28800 bps (Trumpcard 28800) or less.

A message is sent to the remote unit by the Modem. The remote unit
loops the test message back. The received message is then compared
with the previously transmitted message to verify the connection. If the
data patterns do not match, then there is a problem with either the local or
remote Modem or the telephone circuit. If this is the case, both local and
remote stations may initiate local analog loopback tests to further isolate
the source of the problem.

To perform this test:

1. Enter

AT&F&Q0 [ENTER]

to put the Modem in basic asynchronous

mode.

2. Establish a connection with a remote Modem and enter

+++

(the

escape sequence) to revert to command mode. The Modem will reply
with

OK

.

3. Enter

AT&T6 [ENTER]

to begin the test. The Modem will display a

CONNECT

response if the loopback data link has been successfully

completed. It will display an

ERROR

response if the link has failed.

If successful, key in a test message. The message will be echoed on

the local screen.

4. Enter

+++

(the escape sequence). The Modem will respond with

OK

.

5. Enter

AT&T0 [ENTER]

to end the test. The Modem will respond with

OK

.
