STARTING THE INTERNET
CONNECTION
There are two ways that you can connect to the Internet with an iDEN
modem: packet data and circuit-switched data.
• Packet Data—uses an IP address rather than a modem number.
• Circuit-Switched Data—uses a data modem number.
Connecting with Packet Data Services
When a packet-data connection is active, your Internet service provider is
your iDEN carrier.
If you have not connected the data cable to the computer and your modem,
do so now. If you need instructions, see “This section provides information
for connecting the data cable and installing the software.” on page 16.
