b uttons d o the following : 
NOTE:
The arrow and  func tion b uttons d esc rib ed  in this sec tion are loc ated  
on the front p anel of the mod em, not on a PC keyb oard  or terminal.   
nSingle Up Arrow moves up one level in the menu tree.
nDouble Up Arrow moves to the top level of the menu tree.
nLeft Arrow moves to the previous choice at the current level of the menu 
tree.
