You should be aware that menu commands are either immediate commands or windowed
commands.
Immediate commands act immediately on the modem, or the network connection. An example of
an immediate command is the
Shutdown
menu command, as it immediately disconnects from
the network and powers off the modem.
Windowed commands move the Modem Manager to a new function, represented by a dialog
window of some sort. An example of a windowed command is the
Config
menu command, as it
displays a new window, allowing you to edit the modem’s configuration.
The Minstrel Menu
The Minstrel menu, shown in Figure 71, contains the five basic menu commands needed to setup
the modem and connect it to the network. They are:
• Disconnect
• Shutdown
• Reconnect
• Network Prefs
• Setup Wizard
