Verizon Wireless VZAccess Manager15

In most cases connecting to a private Wi-Fi network is a simple process and you can use VZAccess

Manager instead of the Wi-Fi client you would normally use. If you have any problems doing this try the

recommendations in the section on

Wi-Fi Troubleshooting

3.5 Using Dial Up Connections

This section is only applicable if you are using a WWAN Device that supports Dial-Up

connections (a wireless phone and cable or a PC Card).

You can make wireless copies of existing dial up accounts on your system. This will wirelessly enable

them and allow you to connect to them wirelessly.

To launch the copy utility, select "Options", "Dial-up Accounts" then "Copy".

Click on the connection or connections you want to copy and click on the "OK" button.

The new connection will have a suffix of "(Wireless)" and will be set to use your wireless phone as the

modem. If the utility is unable to automatically recognize your existing area code and number, the

existing number will be displayed, and you will be prompted to enter the area code and number. The

utility configures the new wireless connections to always dial 11 digits, so that they will work locally and

also in other digital data coverage areas.

If it is determined that the connection might benefit by further optimization, an additional connection

with a "(Wireless Optimized)" suffix, will also be created. This connection may connect faster. If you

have trouble with the "(Wireless Optimized)" connection, you can delete it from your dial-up networking

folder and use the "(Wireless)" connection.

Note:

Some applications, such as AOL and JUNO, have Dial-Up Networking connections that can't be

used directly from VZAccess Manager or Dial-Up Networking. Copies of these connections will not

work with your wireless phone, since the original connections do not work by themselves. In most

cases the original connections or the software can be configured to use your wireless phone or CDMA

PC Card as a modem. For the easiest way to configure AOL to work with your wireless phone, see the

section on

Configuring AOL

To delete connections:

If you are using Windows 95, 98, or ME you can access Dial-Up Networking from VZAccess Manager

by selecting "Options", "Dial-up Accounts", "Edit". To delete a connection, click on it to select it, and

press the delete key.
