Getting Started
Companies that operate iDEN networks and provide access to those
networks are called service providers. You must have an account with a
iDEN service provider that offers iDEN service to use the im240
Wireless Modem.
When you obtain your account, you will be given a SIM card. The SIM
card contains account information and must be inserted in the im240
Wireless Modem anytime you use it.
Before you can use the im240 Wireless Modem, you must install the
im240 Wireless Modem software and ensure that your im240 Wireless
Modem is configured to use your account. Instructions on completing
these steps are provided in the chapters that follow.
Once installed and configured, you can connect to the Internet with the
im240 Wireless Modem in any area in which you can obtain iDEN
service. Your ability to obtain iDEN service depends on these factors:
• Proximity to a iDEN network—You must be within the coverage area
of an iDEN network on which iDEN has been implemented, in order
to use the im240 Wireless Modem.
• Service provider—If you are within the coverage area of a network
that is not operated by your own service provider, you can only
obtain service if there is a roaming agreement between your service
provider and the network operator.
• Account provisions—Your account may restrict your usage to
certain networks or limit the amount of time you can use the
network.
Most service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.
