The activity and state of the modem’s DTE signal appear on the LCD’s bottom line. Press the

  key to scroll other signals into view.

The LCD’s bottom line displays a pair of symbols for each interface lead. The first symbol
indicates the signal’s activity since entering the DTE status display. An * (asterisk) indicates at
least one transition while a blank space indicates no transitions.

The second symbol indicates the state of the interface lead at the sampling time. A     (solid
block) indicates a Space or ON condition while an underscore ( _ ) indicates a Mark or OFF
condition.

The Status Backup function displays the configuration of the modem’s current operating line
facility and the configuration and condition of the inactive line.

The modem’s rear panel has two line interface jacks: LEASE and
DIAL (see Figure 2-1 in Chapter 2, Modem Installation). The jack
labeled LEASE is the APL primary interface and accepts either
2-wire or 4-wire APL. The jack labeled DIAL is the backup interface
and accepts either 2-wire APL (Dual Lease Line) or Dial lines.
