WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows Mobile 5.0 User Manual 251
Chapter 6: Settings
Tools Menu
6.33.5.5 Modem Information
The fields in this dialog box cannot be edited – they only display information about
the WORKABOUT PRO modem. If the network operator has not programmed a
user’s phone number into the SIM, the Phone field remains empty. The modem
serial number is called IMEI for GSM modems and ESN for CDMA modems.
The SIM ID is sometimes referred to as the ICC ID (International Charge Card
Identifier). Not all modems support the retrieval of the SIM ID. In particular, the
Novatel Merlin UMTS modems and the Option Globetrotter modems do not
support SIM ID retrieval.
If the main menu shows an error status, at least partial modem information may
be available.
Modem Power Modes
The power mode of the modem is controlled through the Power icon rather than
through the Wireless WAN user interface.
To adjust PC Card and CF card modems settings:
• Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the
Power icon.
• Tap on the Card Slots tab.
If the checkbox for a modem is unchecked, power is not applied to the modem and a
driver is not loaded (neither the serial port driver nor the Wireless WAN driver). If
the checkbox is checked, power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded
when the hand-held is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the
WORKABOUT PRO enters suspend mode.
To enable a modem module that is built into the unit:
• Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the
Power icon.
For a modem module that is built into the WORKABOUT PRO, the settings can be
found under the Built-in Devices tab. In this case, one of the following power modes
can be selected:
• Disabled – No power is applied to the modem and no driver is loaded.
• Enabled – Off in Suspend
Power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the hand-
held is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the terminal
enters suspend mode.
