Timeout:

Disconnect

The Inactivity Timeout terminates your data

connection automatically when the AirCard

is inactive for the amount of time you

specify here. (The AirCard is inactive when

no data transmission is occurring.) Select

Never to disable the feature. Otherwise,

select the number of minutes after which

you want to automatically disconnect.

Incoming Calls

Answer

By default the AirCard is set to answer all

calls as voice calls. To receive a fax or data

call, you must set this field appropriately,

before the call is answered. This means

that anyone wanting to send a fax, or

establish a data connection with the

AirCard, 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 AirCard maintains the setting

for one call, or until Watcher is restarted.

If you select “all calls as Fax” or “all calls as

Data”, the AirCard maintains the setting

until you select another option.
