---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last WWAN specific option is the "Venturi" tab
("Options", "Preferences", "Venturi" tab):
The Venturi compression software works in the background between your computer and Venturi
compression servers on the Verizon Wireless network to improve your performance when using the
NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess,
N
ationalAccess or
Quick 2 Net
(14.4 kbps) connection. This
option is selected by default and allows VZAccess Manager to automatically turn the Venturi
compression software on when you use VZAccess Manager to connect via
BroadbandAccess,
N
ationalAccess or
Quick 2 Net
,
and off when you disconnect.
Unselecting "Compress and accelerate WWAN connections" will cause VZAccess Manager to no
longer toggle the Venturi compression software on and off when using
BroadbandAccess,
N
ationalAccess or
Quick 2 Net
.
The recommendation is to leave this option selected because it
helps in most cases. There are some rare situations where you may get better performance by turning
the compression software off, so the option is available. You can also control the compression client
through its user interface. For additional details see the section on
Venturi Instructions
.

The following options are available if you selected "detect Wi-Fi" device during setup. If you have
added a Wi-Fi device after having installed VZAccess Manager, you can select "Options", "Run
Wizard" to run the setup wizard again.
