CONFIGURATION MODE FUNCTION
Mode	Function
0	Normal operation of modem - sets power-up defaults for various commands
1	Controls flow control and connect mode defaults
2	Selects leased-line and synchronous mode options
3	Controls serial port signals
4	Controls synchronous clock and busy out
5	Selects echo and result code formatting
6	Controls various command options
7	Selects flow control and parity checking
8	Controls serial port parity and speed
9	Configures line speed options
10	Performs diagnostic tests
Note: The DeskPorte FAST modem can be configured by switches in eleven modes, although command configuration is preferable when possible. Configuration modes 1 through 9 can be stored in NVRAM by pressing the reset switch. Mode 0 is read on reset or power-up is SW2/5 is on. If SW2/5 is off, no switch settings will be used. Before operating, the modem’s switches should be returned to mode 0 and the appropriate settings made.
