INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Nextel iM1100 Wireless Modem, manufactured
by Motorola. The iM1100 Wireless Modem provides you with the capability of
performing your most important laptop computer activities, like connecting to
the Internet or corporate intranets, from outside your office or home.
The iM1100 Wireless Modem enables the following types of data connections:
• Packet data: Access the Internet, send and receive e-mail, and transfer
small files over the packet data network using standard IP protocols.
Packet data transmits packets (blocks) of data at high speed. After the
data is transmitted, you can remain connected without being charged for
the idle time.
• 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 the Standard Telephone
Network.
Circuit data provides a dedicated, connection for transmitting data. The
connection is maintained until broken by one of the connected parties.
