Field Description
Lock modem
The Lock Code feature can be used to
prevent others from using your card and
your account. When the Lock Code is
enabled, you are prompted to enter a
code any time the PCS Connection
Manager is launched. If the wrong code is
entered, the software closes. (This makes
it impossible to use the card without
knowing the lock code.) By default the
lock code is the last four digits of your
phone number.
To disable the feature, select never from
the drop-down menu. To enable the
feature, so that you are prompted for a
lock code the next time you launch the
manager, select
on power up from the drop-
down menu. (The Lock Code feature will
then remain enabled until you disable it by
selecting
never in this field.)
Lock Modem Now
This button allows you to enable the Lock
Code feature immediately. (If you select
on power up in the previously described
drop-down menu, you need to close the
PCS Connection Manager before the lock
code comes into effect.)
When you click the button, the
PCS Connection Manager prompts, “Lock
the modem now?”. Click
Yes at this
prompt to lock the card.
