Diagnostic Capabilities 
To provide modem diagnostics, there are three LEDs on the modem 
itself. When the unit is first powered up it goes through its own self test 
and the status is reflected in the visual status of the LEDs. 
Customer Problem Isolation 
When application-visible problems are discovered in the field, you 
must isolate the source of the problem. Is it the network, wireless 
modem, or the host/terminal that is not working as expected? Often it 
can be a user’s misunderstanding of how to use the product. 
Regardless, remote troubleshooting is essential to reducing the number 
of returned products and lowering service costs, particularly if the 
host/terminal must be disassembled for removal of the modem. 
Wavenet recommends that your product application (both at the 
terminal and Enterprise Server Application ends) incorporate sufficient 
problem diagnostic software to determine the cause of the problem 
remotely. Often, the best approach is to incorporate progressively 
deeper loop back tests to determine the point at which the 
communication link fails. 
As stated elsewhere, you need to make this remote diagnostic 
functionality be part of your standard software load.  
End User Support 
You have two choices in dealing with an integrated modem that needs 
to be swapped out and returned for service: 
 
Decommission the modem and re-use the LLI 
 
Replace the modem 
If you decommission the modem Id (the LLI) from the defective unit 
and transfer it to a replacement unit, the user and the network operator 
are unaffected. This can only be done by an authorized Wavenet 
service centre with the appropriate permissions and authority. If you 
simply swap the defective unit with a replacement, the user must notify 
the network operator.  
Investigate and Obtain Regulatory Approval 
Most countries where the final product will be sold currently require 
approval from the local government regulatory body. It is your 
responsibility to investigate and obtain the proper regulatory approval 
and certification for each country in which the product is sold.  
Regulatory issues are discussed in more detail in “Regulatory 
Requirements” on page 21. In addition, see “Regulatory Compliance” 
on page 75.
