Only SvcID The modem will attempt to detect
only
the system in the Service
ID parameters for registration. This is useful in cases where the
user wishes to prevent roaming to any other system but his home
one.
PreferSvcId The modem will first attempt to register on the system described
by the SPI/WASI/SPNI entries. If no system is found, the modem
will attempt to register on the remaining available systems in the
area. This is useful in situations where the user spends most of his
time in one area and occasionally roams. In this case, the user
would enter the Network ID parameters that reflect the system he
most often will register on. Another situation where this may be
useful is in cases where the user has two systems in his area but
prefers service on one due to rate advantages, etc.
IgnoreSvcID The modem will attempt to register on any system but that
reflected in the Network ID entries. This is useful in situations
where the user wishes to block registration on systems in his area
that he does not have an agreement with. This may speed up the
registration process in some areas.
Any SvcID The SPI/WASI/SPNI entries are ignored. This is the default
configuration and ensures that the modem will attempt to register
on any valid system that it can find.
Scan All Ignores the list of channels and search all of them.
Use List Attempts to search for system on the channels in the list. If service
cannot be found on those channels, the user will be unregistered.
Hybrid Attempts to search for systems on the given channels first, and
then opens the search up to all channels if none can be found.
Given this selection, the modem will also update the channel list
automatically with any channel on which it has found service. In
this way, the channel list is eventually updated with all CDPD
systems in the area.
