Connecting to the network
To use your account (and connect to your service provider’s network), you need to
have at least one profile set up on your AirCard USB Modem. Depending on how
your AirCard USB Modem is configured, the profile may already be set up or you
may need to create one.
Note: If you have a pre-paid wireless account, you’ll need to have credit in your account
before you can connect.
Windows
Once the software is successfully installed and the profile is set up, the AirCard
USB Modem is ready to use.
The first time you insert the AirCard USB Modem in the computer, it takes a few
seconds for it to locate the network. While the AirCard USB Modem is scanning
for a network, the Connect button is unavailable.
When you use the AirCard USB Modem with the same computer, TRU-Install
verifies that the correct software is already installed. This process may take a few
seconds.
If you need to re-install the software, see page 11.
