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 Built-in Devices 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 Ikôn is turned
on. Power is removed from the modem when the Ikôn 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 Ikôn, 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 Ikôn is turned on. Power
is removed from the modem when the terminal enters suspend mode.
• Enabled – Always On
When the Ikôn enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered indefinitely.
• Enabled – Keep on for 5 min
• Enabled – Keep on for 15 min
• Enabled – Keep on for 30 min
• Enabled – Keep on for 1 hour
• Enabled – Keep on for 2 hours
