CHAPTER 5 Understanding Alert Windows
Alerts that are generated by the Mobile Connection Manager explain effects of certain actions
you are enabling by selecting particular functions. You generally can exit an alert by selecting
Yes, No or OK. You also have the option to “turn off” an alert either from the alert window itself,
or by manually shutting it off. To manually shut off an alert, access the Settings tool in the
Action Area of the Full Mode Mobile Connection Manager screen or click the System Tray
Icon in the system tray of your notebook PC to access the shortcut menu. Following are
different alerts that may appear during use.
Express Network SM (1xRTT) and Quick 2 Net SM (14.4kbps) Alerts
The Express Network alert will appear each time an Express Network data call is initiated. The
Quick 2 Net alert will appear each time a Quick 2 Net data call is initiated.
Select Continue to dismiss the alerts and proceed with your data call or Cancel to cancel the
data call. You are able to turn off this alert for the future by clicking the checkbox at the bottom
of the window. You may manually turn off these alerts by accessing the General tab in the
Settings tool window.
Connection Lost Alert
A visual and audible alert occurs whenever a connection has been inadvertently lost, due to
poor signal strength or being outside a local coverage area. Select OK to acknowledge the
notice and close the window. You may manually turn off this alert by accessing the General tab
in the Settings tool window.
Software Mismatch Alert
This alert will appear if the host software you are installing is older than modem software. Click
OK to dismiss the dialog.
NOTE: You may continue to use the PC3220 after closing the alert window, even with the software
mismatch.
Power On Card Alert
If the PC3220 has been "Powered Off", an attempt to connect by clicking the Connect or
Settings buttons will cause this alert to appear. Click Yes to close the alert window and card
power on the PC3220 automatically. Click No to acknowledge that the card has been “Powered
Off” and close the alert window.
NOTE: You must turn the power on before making a connection. Access the shortcut menu by
clicking on the System Tray icon and select Power On.
Connection in Progress Alert
A "Connection in Progress" or "Connection is still Active" alert message occurs if you attempt to
select Exit or Power Off from the System Tray shortcut menu prior to terminating your
connection.
When a connection is in progress, you cannot exit or power off the PC3220 without first
terminating the connection by clicking the Disconnect button from the Full Mode view or
shortcut menu from the System Tray icon.
