66 Dell ControlPoint Connection Manager
Setting up mobile broadband access requires an activated account with a mobile
operator. By default, DCP Connection Manager configures your mobile
broadband settings with the default settings on your Dell laptop. From DCP
Connection Manager, mobile broadband settings can be added, removed, or
edited.
NOTE: To establish a mobile broadband account, click the Activate button found on
the Connection Status screen when you select Mobile Broadband from the
Connection drop-down menu. This button will be labeled
Activate only if
mobile broadband service is not yet activated with the mobile operator.
To configure global Mobile Broadband settings—a superset of Mobile
Broadband settings that may apply to all mobile broadband network
connections—click the Mobile Broadband link on the Global Settings screen.
