Soft Reboot
This is equivalent to pressing the “RESET” button on the NCB’s front panel.
Ring Mode Parameters
NCB’s connected in a Ring topology provide fault tolerance for the Telco
channel. If values for Unit ID, Ring Propagation Delay, and Ping Test
Interval are edited, click on Apply Settings to save Ring Mode
Parameters. Click on the Enable/Disable menu item to display a drop-down
list, then choose Enable to activate ring mode for this NCB. See “A
for further Ring Mode details.
Modem Options Menu Item
The
Modem Options
menu item provides access to the following functions for an NCB-IM. These functions will
have no effect for other models (such as the NCB-EM).
Auto Answer (Dial-Up only)
This option allows enabling or disabling the Auto Answer function in Dial-up mode. A check next to the menu
item indicates Auto Answer is currently enabled. Be careful when disabling Auto Answer mode on a remote
NCB, as once connection with this unit is broken, it will no longer automatically answer an incoming call. To
re-enable Auto Answer mode, proceed as follows:
Press and hold the “CMD” button on the remote NCB
Press and release the “RESET” button on the remote NCB.
Wait until the “PWR” LED begins to flash on the remote NCB, then release the “CMD” button.
These steps will temporarily enable Auto Answer mode for the remote NCB for one incoming call. Use
NCB/Plug, NCBCON, or explicit messages to re-enable Auto Answer mode for future connections.
Mute Input Audio
To maximize data throughput, handsets should normally remain disconnected or the input audio be kept muted
on any NCB that may be installed where normal background noise could be detected by the handset. Audio
input is automatically un-muted when a connection is established
Dial Mode (Dial-Up only)
Manual or Perpetual dialing modes are supported. If the modem is currently
connected to another NCB, the Dial Mode will not change until the current
call is cancelled.
Connection Statistics
The Connection Statistics window appears to the right.
