                                                switches or by the stored
                                                settings.

        7&8     UNASSIGNED

* Factory Standard or Default

** This switch is known as the "Dumb Mode" switch because if the switch is
down then the SmartModem no longer recognises "AT" commands.  The operation
of the SmartModem is governed by the position of the front panel switches (SA
models) or previously saved parameters (A models).
