Sleep Mode
This list box allows you to turn your modem’s
Sleep Mode
function on or off.
If this function is enabled, it will cause the modem to enter a low current con-
sumption mode (called
sleep mode
) when the modem is not actively send-
ing or receiving data. If this function is disabled, the modem will maintain the
normal level of power consumption.
Network Provider
This list box allows you to set which side of the wireless IP network the
modem will scan.
Each area of the wireless IP network has an
A
side and a
B
side, with a sin-
gle network provider assigned to each side. The side a network provider is
assigned to may change between service areas.
The following list defines the four valid values for this list box.
A Only
This setting will force the modem to only scan the A side of the
network for usable channels.
B Only
This setting will force the modem to only scan the B side of the
network for usable channels.
Prefer A
This setting will instruct the modem to scan the A side of the net-
work first, and if no usable channels are found, then scan the B
side.
Perfer B
This setting will instruct the modem to scan the B side of the net-
work firs, and if no usable channels are found, then scan the A
side.
