3.3 Connecting
Once your Wi-Fi or WWAN device is properly configured, connecting to the Internet
is as simple as selecting the network connection type shown in the list and clicking
the Connect button. Note that the Connect button immediately above the list will
change to “Connect WWAN” or “Connect Wi-Fi” as appropriate based on the current
selection in the networks list.
1. Select one of the following connections: “NationalAccess”, “NationalAccess -
BroadbandAccess”, or “Quick 2 Net (14.4kbps)”.
2. Click the “Connect WWAN” button when it becomes enabled.
Once connected, the “Connect WWAN” button will change to “Disconnect”. Simply
click this to end your current connection. To connect to any other network shown,
select it, and then select “Connect”.
The Status Bar
Information regarding your current network connection can be seen in the status bar
along the bottom of the VZAccess Manager interface. For more information on this
status bar, see the section “The Status Bar” in the “Additional Features” section.
* If you are using a WWAN (1xEV-DO/1xRTT/CDMA) device that supports the
Verizon Wireless Dial-Up-Data service and you made wireless copies of your
dial-up accounts, they will also appear. See the section “Creating Wireless Copies
of your Dial-Up Connections”. Optionally you can have all dial-up connections
appear in VZAccess Manager and use it to launch any dial-up networking
connection. See the section “Setting Your Preferences”. If you are in the presence
of a private Wi-Fi network (such as one at work or at home) it will also appear if
you selected the Wi-Fi option during setup. If the number of connections exceeds
what can be displayed, a vertical scroll bar will appear to the right of the
connections. Scroll down to see them all.
* The first time you connect with the NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess,
NationalAccess, or Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connections, or a private Wi-Fi
connection, a connectivity warning message will appear. You have the option to
suppress these warning messages when they are displayed.
VZAccess Manager will display status information at the bottom during the
connection process as well as while connected. When not connected, the status
text in the lower left corner will display “Not connected” for the currently selected
network. The timer will display “00:00:00”. Once connected, the status text will
display “Connected” and the elapsed timer will begin to run. When a connection is
active, its name will appear as bold text.
