1.3 Setup Overview
1.
If VZAccess Manager was obtained in a Mobile Office kit, install the USB drivers for your phone
from Disc 1 before installing VZAccess Manager.
2.
If you purchased a PC Card, there is only one CD that contains VZAccess Manager and PC Card
drivers.
3.
If you plan to use the Wi-Fi features be sure your Wi-Fi adapter is installed before installing
VZAccess Manager.
4.
When setup is run you will be prompted to select "Detect both Wi-Fi and WWAN", "Detect WWAN
device only (1xEVDO/1xRTT/CDMA)". WWAN stands for Wireless Wide Area Network and
depending on device compatibility, includes the services listed in the previous section -
Quick 2
Net
,
Dial-Up-Data Service
, N
ationalAccess, BroadbandAccess.
5.
The WWAN setup will do the following:
a.
Create a
VZAccess Manager
shortcut on your desktop.
b.
Install the wireless device as a modem or use a preexisting modem driver for it and
configure VZAccess Manager to use it.
c.
Create the
Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps)
connection if the wireless device supports it. This
connection allows you to use your wireless phone and cable or PC Card to connect to
the Internet in less than 10 seconds.
d.
If the wireless device supports N
ationalAccess
but not BroadbandAccess, a
NationalAccess
connection is created. This connection works like the Quick 2 Net (14.4
kbps) connection but at faster data rates, as described in the above section.
e.
If the wireless device supports BroadbandAccess, a
NationalAccess -
BroadbandAccess
connection will be created, this will work for BroadbandAccess
where it's available and will automatically fall back and attempt connecting via
NationalAccess when BroadbandAccess is not available.
f.
If the wireless device supports it, you will have the option of creating wireless copies of
any existing dial up connections for use with your wireless device.

Your are prompted to install the Venturi compression software after completing the
VZAccess Manager Setup Wizard. Once installed, this requires no user configuration
and roughly doubles your performance using the
NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess,
NationalAccess, or
Quick 2 Net
(14.4 kbps) connection, when launched from VZAccess
Manager. See
Venturi Compression Software
for more details.
