Wi-Drive Installation Manual

11. Set On demand: check this if you want Wi-Drive to connect when a device needs

Internet connection and disconnect on network inactivity.

By leaving on-demand field off, 3G internet will be established as soon as possible

regardless of current internet demand. Since Wi-Drive keeps running as long as 3G

connection is up, this can lead to battery exhaust - of course within the limits of

internal battery protection scheme. There are chances that your 3G modem

automatically drops the 3G connection even if it's not in on-demand mode after

several minutes of inactivity. Here on-demand is definitely recommended.

12. Set Roaming: check this if you allow Internet access when roaming.

13. Set Limit: leave this 0 (not used yet).

14. Click Apply under Limit.

15. Now connect your 3G modem to one of the USB Extension ports.

16. Reboot your Wi-Drive. (Via the web interface or by pressing the Push button twice in

one second.)

17. Your modem’s lights (if any) will indicate activity.

18. Connect a Wi-Fi device (a laptop) to the Wi-Drive Access Point (default

SSID/Passkey: dension-widrive/12345678), make sure that this device has no other

ways of connecting to the Internet.

19. Initiate Internet traffic from this laptop by visiting a web page, or downloading e-mails,

etc. You should have Internet connection and your modem’s lights (if any) will show

connected status. Also, Wi-Drive Status LED will turn to green-orange.
