# Set pause on modem

In this case study, we will look at how to suspend modem usage.

Follow the steps below to suspend the modem:

1. Get a list of your modems and select one of them. You can get a list of modems [by host](https://docs.proxy-seller.com/mobile-crm/usage-guides/host-actions/list-of-host-modems) or [`without host`](https://docs.proxy-seller.com/mobile-crm/usage-guides/modem-actions/get-all-modems).
2. Use the following method from our API [`Set modem on PAUSE`](https://docs.proxy-seller.com/api-reference/modems#set-modem-on-pause)
