Data Communication and Host Modes

Data usage using Keepalive

Keepalive is an optional feature. If you frequently pass data with your modem, you most likely do not need to have Keepalive enabled. When using Keepalive, be aware that a ping moves approxi- mately 66 bytes of data over the network and is billable by the carrier. The following *IPPING settings will incur approximate monthly data usage in addition to any other data usage:

60 minutes

100k / month

120 minutes

50k / month

Caution: If *IPPINGADDR is left blank or is set to an invalid IP address (exam- ple, an IP which is unreachable or one which is not a valid IP address), modem performance will be adversely affected.
