iM1000-Data Modem

When You Are Connected

When your iDEN modem is connected to your computer with the data
cable, and your packet data modem is selected, you are Packet Data
Registered even if you are not actively transmitting data.
Your PC displays a floppy disk icon, indicating that your
modem is ready to make packet data calls.
After you send data, the packet data transfers take place during times when
the iDEN network is not busy. This operation is like sending a letter through
the post office. You do not have simultaneous contact with the addressee.

Using the iDEN Packet Data Service Window

The iDEN Packet Data Service window on your computer screen informs
you of the current status of your modem during a packet data connection.
You can turn this option on and off. It is not required to use packet data
services.
• Normal mode provides signal strength and the number of kilobytes sent
and received for the current packet data session.
• Advanced mode displays technical information about iDEN carrier,
signal strength, and the number of kilobytes sent and received for the
current packet data session.
If the computer cannot connect with the modem, your computer will display
an error message
If the iDEN Packet Data Service window is not on your
computer screen, you can open it by double-clicking the
modem icon on the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows
NT Taskbar.
