If your expected connection does not appear or if you connected your wireless phone and cable,
or inserted your wireless CDMA PC Card or Wi-Fi Card after starting VZAccess Manager, select
"Refresh Networks" from the "Options" menu. This
will cause VZAccess Manager to look for your wireless device(s) and verify network availability. If
you have any Wi-Fi networks you manually added because they do not broadcast their SSID,
they will always be displayed, and you will have to refer to the signal strength displayed to know
when you are in range. See the section "Wi-Fi Specific Settings" for additional details.
Note that with certain Wi-Fi adapters the signal strength for Wi-Fi networks is not accurate until
you connect to the network.
Note: The Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection is only created when the WWAN option is selected
during setup and if your wireless device supports it. The NationalAccess connection is only
created when the WWAN option is selected during setup and if you are using a NationalAccess
capable device that does not support the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess service. If you are
using a BroadbandAccess capable device a NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess connection will be
created. This connection will use BroadbandAccess if available and will automatically attempt a
NationalAccess connection when BroadbandAccess is not available. If you change phones or PC
Cards, you will need to run the Setup Wizard again. To do this make sure that your phone and
cable are connected, then select "Run Wizard" from the "Options" menu.
3.3 CONNECTING
Once your Wi-Fi or WWAN device is properly configured, connecting to the Internet is as simple
as selecting the network connection type shown in the list and clicking the Connect button. Note
that the Connect button immediately above the list will change to "Connect WWAN" or "Connect
Wi-Fi" as appropriate based on the current selection in the networks list.
1. Select one of the following connections: "NationalAccess", "NationalAccess -
BroadbandAccess", or "Quick
2 Net (14.4kbps)".
2. Click the "Connect WWAN" button when it becomes enabled.
Once connected, the "Connect WWAN" button will change to "Disconnect". Simply click this to
end your current connection. To connect to any other network shown, select it, and then select
"Connect".
The Status Bar
Information regarding your current network connection can be seen in the status bar along the
bottom of the VZAccess Manager interface. For more information on this status bar, see the
section "The Status Bar" in the "Additional Features" section.
