34 Using the Modem Manager
Manual Revision 1.0 P/N 90023333
Once the Modem Manager has successfully connected to the Merlin for GPRS modem, the
application will attempt to register the modem to the GPRS/GSM network as indicated by
your default connection profile.
When the modem has successfully registered to the network, the Current Status field will
display Ready to connect, home network and the Carrier field will display the name of
your service provider, shown in Figure 53.

Entering Your Account PIN
If your service provider requires you to enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) before you
can use your network account, the Modem Manager will display the Enter PIN dialog box, shown
in Figure 54, before registering to the network.

Note:
If the Modem Manager is unable to connect to your Merlin for GPRS modem, verify that both
the SIM card and your modem are properly installed. The Current Status field will indicate if
the SIM card or modem are missing.
