CNI2 Operating and Installation Guide
iDENService (Nextel, Harmony)
iDEN is an abbreviation for Integrated Digital Enhanced Network. This communications
standard was developed by Motorola and provides its users the benefits of a trunked radio and
a cellular telephone. Up to six communication channels share a 25 kHz space. iDEN operates
on either the 800 MHz or 900MHz bands and is based on time division multiple access (TDMA)
and GSM architectures. It supports circuit-switched data (CSD) and packet (Internet)
communications, as well as voice and two-way radio services.
Like GSM radios an iDEN radio requires a memory card called a SIM card (Subscriber Identity
Module). When "iDEN" is selected as the Service Type most parameters are the same as for
GSM. Refer to the previous section for information.
One parameter that is not required is the Internet APN (access point name), so this field is
disabled (grayed out).
You can leave the Packet Service Connection Command field blank.
NOTE
Due to the availability of iDEN radios support for iDEN service will not be offered
after 2010 and may be discontinued earlier.
HSPAService
HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) is not yet supported by the CNI2. If this selection is made
the CNI2 will display an error code of "15" until another selection is made.
