Communication Initialization
Whenever you start the application or install a phone to the
AdvanceCommunicator™ cradle, the application will initialize the
communication into the hardware.
During the initialization process, the
Phone Status
line will display the
message
Please Wait
, and then
Wait for Initialization
. At the end of the
initialization process, the message
Phone Ready
will display.
If the iDEN phone used is of the Falcon series (i730, i830, i833 and i860),
you must connect the audio cable included in the communication kit. For
details on how to install the audio cable, see "Inserting the phone into the
AdvanceCommunicator™ Cradle". If the audio cable is not connected, the
status line will display a
Please connect the Audio Cable
message.
Sometimes, during the installation of a phone in the cradle, the application
may encounter a problem of faulty communication with the phone. In a
situations like this, the application will perform a complete initialize of the
communication, during which it will turn the iDEN phone off and back on.
Note:
If the phone security or SIM security are active, the initialization
process will complete setting the communication between
the application and hardware, but no cellular activity will be
permitted until the security code is entered.
