The MobileAccess phone is designed for both voice
and data communication. Voice communication is
implemented over the Advanced Mobile Phone System
(AMPS), while data communication uses Cellular
Digital Packet Data (CDPD).
You can select the phone’s operation mode:
E
In AMPS mode, the phone can be used to place and
receive phone calls and to retrieve data.
E
In CDPD mode, the phone can be used to send and
retrieve data and to place phone calls.
E
In Dual mode, the phone automatically switches
between voice and data modes. You can place and
receive voice calls and send and receive data.
W
For more information about operation modes, see
Chapter 1 of the MobileAccess Reference Manual. The default
operating mode is AMPS.
W
To change modes, see Chapter 3 of the MobileAccess
Reference Manual.
When you purchase the phone, your service provider
provisions it with the following:
E
A cellular phone number, known as a Network Access
Module (NAM), for voice communication.
E
A Network Entity Identifier (NEI) for paging and data
communication.
E
The Internet Protocol (IP) address of the data server
that your phone will contact for data access.
W
Please see the inside back cover of this guide to record the
information discussed in this section.
W
Chapter 7 of the MobileAccess Reference Manual includes
detailed information about how you can work with NAMs,
NEIs, and server addresses.
