Macintosh Computers 75
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 shows the “Async” rate (usually 9.6).
Note
For cellular calls the Tri-Mode Phone screen says “PPP @ 14.4”or
“PPP @ 9.6,” indicating an over-the-air rate of 14400 or 9600 bps.
You can now open typical communication applications to do anything
you would normally do through an ISP.
To disconnect a PPP data connection
1. In the
Remote Access or Remote Access Status dialog, click Disconnect.
Note
Remote Access Status is an alternate method available after
MacOS 7.6.
Using Typical Communication Applications
Once you have established a packet (PPP) data service connection, you can
use any communication applications based on 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 Macintosh, such as
Eudora and Netscape Navigator.
Establishing Asynchronous (non-PPP) Data Connections
This section shows how to make a strictly asynchronous (non-PPP) data
connection, using a terminal emulator application (for example: dialing into
a BBS).
To establish an asynchronous (non-PPP) data connection
1. Make sure the Tri-Mode Phone is properly connected to your Macintosh
computer (as described in “Connecting Macintosh Components” on
page 57).
2. Turn on your Tri-Mode Phone.
3. Rotate the Globalstar satellite antenna (as shown on page 61) and
make sure you have a Globalstar signal.
4. On your computer, open a terminal emulator application.
