cause damage to the Data Interface.
The DMD1050TS is shipped from the factory with preset factory defaults. Upon initial power-up,
do a user check to examine the shipped modem configuration.

Use of Strap Code 26 can set the modem configuration. For an explanation and listing of
available Strap Codes, see Appendix G. The Frequency and Modulator Output Power are set
independently of the strap code.
CAUTION – NETWORK MALFUNCTION
Using the modem’s loopback capabilities with the Ethernet data interface can
cause undesirable network loops. Before you do any data test with an Ethernet
interface, make sure to use two modems connected back-to-back. If you use one
modem and a loopback, it can cause unwanted results.
To lock up the modem:
• Enter IF Loopback Enable in the Test Menu
