•Circuit data: Access an ISP or your corporate server with a PPP dial-up connection to send and receive data over the circuit-switched cellular channel, just as you would using a standard telephone network.

You can use the im240 wireless modem to connect to the internet or to a corporate server using a PPP or dial-up network connection (circuit data). Contact your ISP or IT department for specific instructions on setting up a modem to access their server. You will need to obtain the phone number of the ISP or corporate server, as well as your network user name and password.

Note: During an active packet data session, any software configured for use with other service providers may need to be reconfigured for use with your service provider.
