Network profiles
The networks in use in different countries each have a different list of
channels and system parameters required for access to that network.
These parameters must be configured in the modem. The Boomer II
modem is able to store these parameters for up to 10 networks, and
through NCL commands, the user can choose between them so that the
correct parameters are used for the user’s current location. The
parameters relating to a particular network form what we call a profile.
The Boomer II modem is supplied to customers with between 1 and 10
of these profiles, depending on the international roaming needs of the
customer. The default profile will also be set according to the
customer’s requirements, but is traditionally set to the correct
parameters for use on the USA’s Motient network. For details on the
NCL commands to view the profile list, and set the currently active
profile, please see the WN_PROFILE setting under Appendix A.
RD-LAP Network Operation
The RD-LAP 9600 and 19200 protocols are used by DataTAC 4000
and 5000 networks. The modem supports both continuously keyed,
multiple channel (MFR) and intermittently keyed, SFR (single
frequency reuse) network configurations, depending on the network
type. The RD-LAP protocol specifications provide the reference RF
protocol link-access procedures supported by the wireless modem.
While on the network, the modem performs auto-roaming and battery-
save (Power Save protocol) functions.
MDC 4800 Network Operation
The MDC 4800 protocol is available exclusively on Motient (United
States) and Bell Mobility (Canada) networks. The modem supports
intermittently keyed, SFR network operation.
Note: On Motient and Bell Mobility networks the modem operates in
either MDC 4800 mode or RD-LAP 19200 mode, as provided by local
coverage, however, it is recommended contact be made with the
relevant network operators to confirm specific details.
