Modem operations

Enable

This command places a manually disabled or out-of-service modem into an available state. A modem must be in an available state for a connect command to be issued.

Disable

This command places a modem that is currently available or out-of-service into a manually disabled state. This effectively removes the modem from service.

Test

The frequency for testing is defined in the job scheduler (jsh) record that contains the modem_test process (for more information, refer to Test dial-out modems via modem_test). If required, an individual modem can also be tested. The test process determines the condition of the modem and places the modem into either an available or an out-of-service state depending on its condition.
