Operational Description
Wireless connection modes
The BT4600/5600 can connect to the wireless data network in three
different ways:
• Packet Data (1xEvDO/1xRTT): allows outgoing calls using
either IS-2000 1xEvDO or 1xRTT cellular protocols, in the same
order of priority. It is intended for TCP/IP connections to the
internet. 1xEvDO allows speed up to 2.4Mbps.
• Packet Data (1xRTT): allows outgoing calls only using either IS-
2000 1xEvDO cellular protocols. It is intended for TCP/IP
connections to the internet. 1xEvDO allows speed up to 2.4M.
• Packet Data (QNC): allows outgoing calls only using IS-95 QNC
cellular protocols. It is intended for TCP/IP connections to the
internet. QNC allows speeds of up to 14.4Kbps.
• Circuit Switched Data: allows for both outgoing and incoming
calls using the circuit-switched IS-95 cellular protocol. It is
intended for direct connections with a landline analog modem.
Allows speeds of up to 14.4Kbps.
Modem operating modes
The BT-5000/4000 series modems are capable of operating in two
different networking modes, Router and Simple Modem modes.
The mode that is in effect when a connection is established depends on
the modem startup configuration and/or on the dialing strings used
when a host or a terminal attached to the modem’s serial port initiates
a connection.
