Status Messages
The DZMx has four status message regions on the main display
for GPS, the modems, queued messages and tracking. For
information on the GPS status line, including configuration, see
"Global Positioning System (GPS)" on page 11. The modem status
lines are used for reporting to the user various messages
including network status and call/messaging activity.
Network Status Messages
The modem status message will change as the DZMx powers up
and establishes a connection to the network:
Initialising: The modem has established a connection to the modem and is in the process of
initialising the device
Ready: The modem is powered on, successfully initialised, registered on the network, and is
reporting a good signal strength
Searching: The modem is searching for a good signal
Disabled: Flightmode has been activated. The modem is disabled until flightmode is deactivated,
see "Cellular Flightmode" on page 25
Online: Modem Data connection has been established
Going Online: The modem is establishing a data connection.
Error Messages
The modem status lines will show error messages if the DZMx is unable to connect to the network for the
following reasons:
SIM Error: Either no SIM is inserted, or is not registered with the network provider.
SIMPINRequired: The SIMcard is locked and requires a PIN
Not Inserted: The DZMx cradle is reporting there is no phone in the cradle (external cradles only)
Not Responding: The modem is not responding to the DZMx. Occurs when the modem is not
configured correctly.
Calling Status
While you are making a phone call, the modem status lines will show you which device is currently being
used for the call, and on the line above, who you are calling, or being called by. If the other party is listed in
the DZMx’s phone book, then the information line will display their name.
The phone or modem status message changes as the DZMx establishes a connection with the other party:
Calling: The DZMx has dialled the number but a connection has not yet been established
On Call: The DZMx has established a connection and the other party has accepted the call
Incoming Call: flashed on the DZMx display, an audible ringing tone will sound over the audio
system and the call annunciator light (if installed) will flash if there is an incoming call
Call Queued: The DZMx has queued the call, and will start the call when the modem is next free
Disconnecting: The phone call has been terminated at either end of the call or the modem loses
the connection.
