Field Description
Data Call
Inactivity
Timeout
Disconnect
The Inactivity Timeout terminates your data
connection automatically when the AirCard
is inactive for the amount of time you
specify here. (The AirCard is inactive when
no data transmission is occurring.) Select
Never to disable the feature. Otherwise,
select the number of minutes after which
you want to automatically disconnect.
Incoming Calls
Answer
By default the AirCard is set to answer all
calls as voice calls. To receive a fax or data
call, you must set this field appropriately,
before the call is answered. This means
that anyone wanting to send a fax, or
establish a data connection with the
AirCard, must notify you in advance so that
you can change this field before the call is
made.
If you select “next call as Fax” or “next call
as Data”, the AirCard maintains the setting
for one call, or until Watcher is restarted.
If you select “all calls as Fax” or “all calls as
Data”, the AirCard maintains the setting
until you select another option.
Call Logging
Retain
You have the option of maintaining records
of your outgoing and incoming calls in the
call log. (The call log is displayed when you
select Tools > Call Log, and is described
on page 142.)
This field allows you to specify the number
of calls retained. Select none, all, last 50
calls, or last 100 calls from the drop-down
menu.
