Powers on the modem and checks for SMS messages. Waits for 60 seconds after
powering on. Also shows the network / carrier that it is connected to and the signal
quality. The signal quality is a value from 0 to 31, with 31 being the best and zero being
the worst. We recommend a signal of 10 or better for GPRS connections.

Antenna
Allows selection of the internal or external antenna to be used. This setting cannot be
changed remotely and must be set using this option.
Carrier Selection
This option boots the modem and performs a carrier scan. It then presents the list of
available operators to choose from. Selecting one causes it to attempt to connect to that
carrier in the future, though does not guarantee success.
SMS Acknowledge
The SMS acknowledge option, if enabled, means that each SMS received will have a
SMS sent to the originating number. This message will either confirm successful receipt
of the message or a description of the problem with the message. When the unit goes
back into run mode (LCD off), this will be automatically disabled.
SIM Activation
Allows the modem to be kept powered for a fixed period of time – this is useful when
SIM cards need to be activated.
