Verifying Your Connection
After the card has been set up on your PC, you can view your connection type and verify
that the WWAN PC Card is transferring data.
Note: In order for the connection testing to be valid, it is important that you first disable
all other network connections, such as a Wi-Fi or LAN connection, before
continuing. Leave only your PC card connection enabled.
1. If the VZAccess Manager program is running, skip to the next step. Otherwise,
navigate to Start > Programs > Verizon > VZAccess Manager to start the
VZAccess Manager program.
The WWAN PC card will take a few minutes to connect to the network. When the
connection is ready, the signal indicator will light up green with bars to indicate
connection strength.
2. Click the Connect button to enable the network connection.
3. If a disclaimer displays, click the Continue button. When the connection attempt is
successful, the bottom-left corner of the VZAccess Manager will read Connected.
4. In the Windows interface, select Start > Run.
5. Enter “cmd” in the Open field and click the OK button.
6. At the prompt, type the command “ipconfig” and press Enter on the keyboard. Your
