The AirCard allows you to configure and
use up to two accounts (with two different
phone numbers). This may be useful to
users who want, for example, to have one
account for business calls and one for
personal calls.
This drop-down menu lists these items:
Auto-Select, NAM 1, and NAM 2. If one
account has been activated, NAM 1 has a
phone number next to it, and if two
accounts have been activated, NAM 1 and
NAM 2 have phone numbers.
When Auto-Select is in effect, the AirCard
uses the account most appropriate to your
location, based on the coverage of your
accounts.
To configure a second account (where only
one account has been activated):
1. Select the option NAM 2 from this
drop-down menu and tap OK.
2. The Activation Wizard should launch.
You can then configure a second
account.
If two accounts are configured, both phone
numbers should be displayed in this drop-
down menu. To switch from one account to
the other:
1. Select the phone number from the
drop-down menu.
*NAM stands for Number Assignment
Module and is information stored in the
flash memory of the AirCard. The
information includes your phone number
and parameters specific to your service
provider.
