Call Status Box
The Call Status Box displays one of these messages:
• Ready to Connect indicates that you have a network
connection but there is no call in progress.
• Dialing indicates that the AirCard is attempting to connect
to a phone number.
• Time … the name of the person with whom you are connected
(or “Unknown” if the name is not obtainable), and the phone
number indicates that a voice call is in progress. The time
shown is the duration of the call.
Note: Watcher begins timing
outgoing calls from the time the
call is initiated—not from the
time the call is answered. • Time…Rx…Tx… indicates that a data call is in progress.
The time shown is the duration of the call. Rx shows the
number of bytes of data received. Tx shows the number of
bytes of data transmitted.
• Voice call from… indicates that an incoming voice call is in
progress.
• Roam Call From … indicates that an incoming voice call is
in progress and you are roaming.
• Data Call From … indicates that an incoming data call is in
progress.
• Fax Call From … indicates that an incoming fax call is in
progress.
• … New Missed Call(s) indicates that you received a call (or
calls) that you failed to answer. (Depending on your
settings in the Options window, a record of these calls is
maintained in the call log which is described on page 63.)
When the In Use indicator is a modem
labelled “1x”, an Express Network data call
is in progress. (For a description of Express
Network data calls, see page 126.)
When the In Use indicator is a large “X”, an
error has occurred and the AirCard is
inoperable. (This may be resolved by
closing Watcher and turning your PC off
and on.)
