The SDIO 56K Modem Card gives you the freedom of

any analog phone line. It plugs directly into any
Pocket PC with an SDIO slot and provides a durable
physical connection for data communication. Plus, it
features V.92 technology to provide advanced
modem options, including Quick Connect and
Modem-on-Hold.
The SDIO 56K Modem Card features an exclusive
Battery Friendly® design, using only 8 mA in idle
mode, to maximize your Pocket PC’s battery life.
About the Software
Socket Mobile developed special software expressly for Windows
Mobile which offers these enhanced features:
Follow the Connection Setup Wizard to quickly and
easily set up a dial-up connection to your Internet
Service Provider or office network.
Modem Utilities software enables you to enable V.92
features such as Quick Connect and Modem-on-Hold,
program the modem for different country codes, and
adjust the speaker volume.

About V.92 Modem-on-Hold
Modem-on-Hold (V.92 MoH) is a modem specification that allows you
to have both data and voice service on the same line, although not
simultaneously. Many households use the same phone line for both
voice calls and data (Internet), and with Modem-on-Hold enabled,
4
users can receive or initiate phone calls without losing an Internet
connection.
Your V.92 ISP defines the “hold” time, which typically ranges from
ten seconds to six minutes. (If you have three-way calling, you can
put the modem on hold indefinitely.) With Caller ID service from
your local phone company, incoming calls will be identified when
they arrive. You can choose to accept or ignore the call. When a
modem is put on hold, a data connection between your modem
and ISP is suspended, so you can accept or initiate a call. When you
hang up the phone, you can resume your Internet connection.
In order to use Modem-on-Hold, your ISP
must support V.92 MoH. Some ISPs may
charge additional fees for the service, based
on the number of minutes on hold.
Additionally, you must have Call Waiting
service from your local phone company. If
you want to use caller identification, you
must also have Type 2 Caller ID service,
which can identify calls when the phone is
off-hook, from your local phone company.
About V.92 Quick Connect
Quick Connect is a V.92 modem specification that reduces the
time needed to establish a connection via faster handshaking.
Handshaking (which makes all the noise you hear while dialing
in) typically takes 25-27 seconds, but with Quick Connect, lasts
only about half as long.
When enabled with Quick Connect, the SDIO 56K Modem Card
will store data about the last connection — or in other words,
“train” itself for the last phone line used. While dialing into a
network, the SDIO 56K Modem Card will compare the phone line
characteristics with the stored data, and if a match is found, the
handshake starts using previous settings. Quick Connect is
convenient if you plan to repeatedly use the SDIO 56K Modem
Card with the same phone line, for example the phone line in
your hotel room.
IMPORTANT! If you plan to use your modem in
different locations, Socket recommends that you
disable the Quick Connect feature.
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 5
If you enable Quick Connect but use the modem in
different locations, the connection may take twice
as long to establish because it searches for the
previous line characteristics before trying to
connect to the new line.
