7. Operating the MP215 via Watcher

The Watcher utility will permit the user to select the operational mode of the MP215. Note that unlike versions of Watcher for other Sierra Wireless modems, no further configuration of the MP215 can be performed. However Watcher also permits the user to monitor modem status, RF channel and signal strength (note signal strength is not available in CS-CDPD mode).

7.1. MP215 Operating Modes

The MP215 can be run in one of four modes.

1)CDPD Mode

This mode provides regular CDPD service.

2)CS-CDPD

This mode provides CS-CDPD service, i.e. CDPD protocol over a conventional AMPS call.

3)CS-CDPD, No Answer

This mode provides CS-CDPD service but does not answer incoming calls (auto- answer disabled).

4)AUTO

In this mode the MP215 automatically switches between CDPD and CS-CDPD modes depending on CDPD service availability. If both services are available it will choose CDPD. While in CS-CDPD mode, and idle, it will periodically check if CDPD service is available.

These operating modes can be selected via the CDPD list in the Settings menu:
