window on your computer minimizes and the Tri-Mode Phone
screen says “PPP @ 9.6.” The “PPP @ 9.6” indicates that the over-the-
air data rate is 9600 bps. (The “T R” status stands for Transmit and
Receive.) For an asynchronous connection, the screen says “Async @
9.6.”
Note
For cellular calls the Tri-Mode Phone screen says “PPP @ 14.4,”
indicating an over-the-air rate of 14400 bps.
You can now open typical communication applications to do anything
you would normally do through an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
To disconnect a packet data connection
1. Double-click the packet data connection (or the connection icon in the
right-hand bottom corner of the screen).
2. Click
Disconnect.
Using Typical Communication Applications
Once you have established a packet data connection, you can use any
communication applications using IP network protocol, for instance
Internet Web browsers, e-mail, FTP, or telnet applications.
The CD that came with your QUALCOMM Globalstar Packet Data Kit may
include some typical communication applications for Windows, such as
Eudora, Netscape Navigator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Making Asynchronous Data Connections
This section shows how to make a strictly asynchronous data connection
(for example: dialing into a BBS).
To make an asynchronous data connection
1. Make sure the Tri-Mode Phone is properly connected to your PC or
laptop (as described in “Connecting Windows Components” on page 11).
2. Turn on your Tri-Mode Phone.
3. Rotate the Globalstar satellite antenna (as shown on page 12) and
make sure you have a Globalstar signal.
4. On your computer, open HyperTerminal (or a similar application).
