There are two Iridium modes: Inactive and Data. When Data mode is selected the Quicksilver
registers on the network and acquires provisioning information. The Status menu page auto-
updates the Iridium constellation information and the SIM information. The device then makes
a PPP connection in order to provide data services. If signal strength is low, it may take some
time before the PPP connection can be made.
NOTE: Internet connectivity will not work even while in data mode if the signal
strength is not good.
