Managing the Network Connection
In order to send and receive data across the Internet, the modem must be connected or registered
to the Wireless IP network. In the sections below, information is provided on how to
• establish the network connection
• disconnect from the network
• close the PPP session.
Connecting to the Network
To establish a connection, or register, to the Wireless IP network, simply insert the Minstrel S into
the Visor’s expansion slot. The Modem Manager will automatically launch and attempt to register
to the Wireless IP network. If the Minstrel S is already inserted, tap the Applications icon and
then the Minstrel icon to start the Modem Manager software.
Disconnecting from the Network
To disconnect, or de-register, from the Wireless IP network and power off the modem, tap the
Shutdown button at the bottom of the Minstrel screen of the Modem Manager software.
