This signal range must be between 20 and 31 (signal levels lower than 18 could work, but the
communications could be slower or even interrupted).
Check your local environment and your antenna isolation/power if you get a 0 or a 99.
This field indicates if you are able to connect to the GSM/GPRS network. You should read "Home

Combo box to choose (force) a GSM operator. The combo will show all the available GSM operator and
an "Automatic" settings. Default setting is Automatic.
Combo box to choose (force) the GSM network type. This is useful if the user want to force the modem in
a specific mode, either for contract reason of for reception level improvement (sometimes the modem will
lock on the 3G network with a poor reception while the GSM reception would be excellent – with a slow
connection though). Possible selections are:
• WCDMA/GSM preferred
• WCDMA only
• GSM only
For 3G modems (UMTS and HSUPA) the default setting is "WCDMA/GSM prefered".
For 2G modems, the menu is present but there is only 1 option: “GSM only”
If this option is selected, the modem led will display the signal level as described in "GSM modem Led
behavior" on page 222
The modem led default behavior is to go solid green when a PPP is established and off otherwise.

This PIN code will be taken in account only after you have power OFF/power ON eWON.
