Dell ControlPoint Connection Manager 7

The Dell™ ControlPoint (DCP) Connection Manager application enables you to

easily set-up and automate your network connections and network-related

settings (such as firewall, VPN, and printers) from a single application on your

Dell laptop. DCP Connection Manager replaces multiple utilities that were

required in the past to configure all of your network connections and settings,

greatly simplifying the configuration process as well as network connectivity

usage.

When DCP Connection Manager starts the first time, many of the connections

and settings listed below are configured automatically using the default settings

on your Dell laptop as a guide. From DCP Connection Manager, these

connections and settings can be easily added, removed, edited, and

imported/exported.

Connection Manager helps you manage the following network connection types

and network-related settings:

•Wi-Fi

• Mobile Broadband

• Dial-up

• Ethernet or Wired (Cable Broadband, DSL)

• Bluetooth™ and UWB

•GPS

•Printer

• Internet Browser & Security

•VPN

•Share Folders

• Map Network Drives
