Note: If you are using a WWAN (1xEV-DO/1xRTT/CDMA) device that supports the Verizon
Wireless Dial-Up-Data service and you made wireless copies of your dial-up accounts, they will
also appear. See the section "Creating Wireless Copies of your Dial-Up Connections".
Optionally you can have all dial-up connections appear in VZAccess Manager and use it to
launch any dial-up networking connection. See the section "Setting Your Preferences". If you
are in the presence of a private Wi-Fi network (such as one at work or at home) it will also
appear if you selected the Wi-Fi option during setup. If the number of connections exceeds what
can be displayed, a vertical scroll bar will appear to the right of the connections.
Scroll down to see them all.
The first time you connect with the NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess, or Quick
2 Net (14.4 kbps) connections, or a private Wi-Fi connection, a connectivity warning message will
appear. You have the option to suppress these warning messages when they are displayed.
VZAccess Manager will display status information at the bottom during the connection process as
well as while connected.
When not connected, the status text in the lower left corner will display "Not connected" for the
currently selected network. The timer will display "00:00:00". Once connected, the status text will
display "Connected" and the elapsed timer will begin to run. When a connection is active, its
name will appear as bold text. The status is also reflected in the Task Tray icon.

A window will also slide out of the tray showing when you connect and disconnect
from networks.
The pop up status can be turned off, if desired, by selecting "Options", "Preferences", "Options"
tab, un-checking "Show popup status windows by tray". Right clicking on the tray icon provides
various options and double clicking on it will always show the application. Placing your cursor on
it will display the current connection status. Based on your preferences, your browser or e-mail or
VPN program can be launched automatically, or you can launch whatever software you want to
use. You can also determine if all connections show in the drop down list or only your
wireless ones, see Setting Your Preferences.
Note: Always use VZAccess Manager when connecting via the NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess,
NationalAccess, or Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection. This will ensure that the Venturi
compression software is enabled and the wireless device is configured properly before
connecting.
At any time during your connection you can check your current connection speed and throughput
stats in the Statistics tab of the Session Information window. To see this window, select
"Statistics" from the "Options" menu.
