Sleep Mode
The Sleep Mode field indicates whether sleep mode is disabled or enabled. If this feature is
Enabled, when the modem is not actively sending or receiving data, it will enter a low current con-
sumption mode called sleep mode. If it is Disabled, the modem will never enter this mode.
To change the setting for the Sleep Mode field, tap to open the pick list and then tap to select
either Disabled or Enabled as desired.
Network Provider
The Network Provider field indicates what side of the Wireless IP network your Minstrel S is con-
figured to use. Each area of the Wireless IP network has an A side and a B side, with a single net-
work provider assigned to each side. The side a network provider is assigned to may change
between service areas. If the Network Provider field is set to A Only, the modem will only scan
the A side of the network for usable channels. If it is set to B Only, only the B side will be used.
Setting this field to Prefer A means that the modem will scan the A side first and then the B side.
Prefer B sets the modem to scan side B and then A.
To change the setting for the Network Provider field, tap to open the pick list and select the new
value you wish to have your modem configured with.
