Modem Status
• Circuit data: Access an ISP or your corporate server with a PPP
dial-up connection to send and receive data over the
circuit-switched cellular channel, just as you would using a standard
telephone network.
Circuit data provides a dedicated connection for transmitting data.
The connection is maintained until broken by one of the connected
parties. You can use the im240 wireless modem to connect to the
internet or to a corporate server using a PPP or dial-up network
connection (circuit data). Contact your ISP or IT department for
specific instructions on setting up a modem to access their server.
You will need to obtain the phone number of the ISP or corporate
server, as well as your network user name and password.
Connecting via Packet Data
You can run any standard TCP/IP application during a packet data
session.
Note: During an active packet data session, any software
configured for use with other service providers may need to
be reconfigured for use with your service provider.
Connecting via Circuit Data
Before attempting to use your im240 Wireless Modem to connect to the
internet via circuit data, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
for instructions on setting up your modem to access their server.
