Section 2: Using Your Device
Additional Setup Information
Getting started with your new Verizon Wireless Network Extender
is easy. This section walks you through an overview of the
product, package contents, activation, and how to contact
Verizon Wireless for assistance with your service and your
Network Extender.
The Verizon Wireless Network Extender is used within your home
or home office to extend your Verizon Wireless coverage area
through an existing Internet broadband connection.
About the size of a traditional wireless access point (WAP), the
Network Extender facilitates the delivery of cellular traffic
through the Internet to the Verizon Wireless network, which then
routes the signal to the desired party.
•
Number of Users
: A maximum of
seven
(7) phones can connect to the
Verizon Wireless Network Extender at any one time.
–
The first six callers to initiate or receive a call will connect to the
Network Extender. Additional users who make or receive a call while all
Network Extender channels are in use are redirected to the nearest
compatible cell tower (if available). A seventh channel, open to all
callers, is always reserved for emergency (E911) calls.
–
As each caller ends a call, that channel then becomes available for
another user to initiate (or receive) a new call.
Note:
The Network Extender can be managed to ensure Verizon Wireless
phone numbers you authorize will always enjoy priority access to the
Network Extender network. For more information, see "Quick Setup"
on page 3, or view the online Setup tutorial at:
