After adding the modem device, you can edit its configuration by selecting the device from the device
list and clicking Edit. For example, when the device is added, it is configured not to start at boot
time by default. Edit its configuration to modify this setting. Compression, PPP options, login name,
password, and more can also be changed.
When the device is added, it is not activated immediately, as seen by its Inactive status. To activate
the device, select it from the device list, and click the Activate button. If the system is configured to
activate the device when the computer starts (the default), this step does not have to be performed
again.
