Description
The Inactivity Timeout terminates your data
connections automatically when the card is inactive
for the amount of time you specify here. (The card is
inactive when no data transmission is occurring.)
Select
the number of minutes after which you want to
automatically disconnect. Note that this has no
affect on PCS Vision connections.
By default the card is set to answer all calls as voice
calls. To receive a fax or data call, you must set this
field accordingly before the call is answered. This
means that anyone wanting to send a fax, or
establish a data connection with the card must
notify you in advance so that you can change this
field before the call is made.
If you select "next call as Fax" or "next call as Data",
the card maintains the setting for one call, or until
the PCS Connection Manager Software is restarted.
If you select "all calls as Fax" or "all calls as Data",
the card maintains the setting until you select
another option.
You have the option of maintaining records of your
outgoing and incoming calls in the Call Log. (The
Call Log is displayed when you select
