1.3. MP215 Host Interface

The MP215 is not completely backwards compatible with existing Sierra Wireless CDPD modems, as the nature of CS-CDPD operation makes this unfeasible. The major differences relate to behavior in response to AT-commands. Section 9 of this document describes how the host interface varies from the Sierra Wireless standard.

1.4. MP215 Wireless Expert and Watcher

Wireless Expert is a utility designed by Sierra Wireless that provides a simple and easy way to configure the MP215, as well as Windows95 or NT-based computers that are to be connected to it. It automatically installs definition files, creates registry files, and configures stacks. The modem can also be manually configured via AT-commands. Watcher is a Sierra Wireless Utility that permits simple operation and observation of the MP215 via a user-friendly GUI.
