specify here. (The AirCard is inactive when

 

no data transmission is occurring.) Select

 

Never to disable the feature. Otherwise,

 

select the number of minutes after which

 

you want to automatically disconnect.

 

 

Incoming Calls

By default the AirCard is set to answer all

Answer

calls as voice calls. To receive a fax or data

 

call, you must set this field appropriately,

 

before the call is answered. This means

 

that anyone wanting to send a fax, or

 

establish a data connection with the

 

AirCard, must notify you in advance so that

 

you can change this field before the call is

 

made.

 

If you select “next call as Fax” or “next call

 

as Data”, the AirCard maintains the setting

 

for one call, or until Watcher is restarted.

 

If you select “all calls as Fax” or “all calls as

 

Data”, the AirCard maintains the setting

 

until you select another option.
