This chapter covers using the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot wirelessly (including
use as a temporary hotspot), using the File Sharing capabilities allowed by the microSDHC
card capabilities, and using the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot as a USB modem.
2.1 Connect in WLAN Mode
WLAN mode is where you use your Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot as a wireless
hotspot or access point. It can be powered by battery, wall plug, or vehicle charger when
used in this mode. Do not plug the USB cable into a computer if you want to use WLAN
mode.
Press the power button.
The Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot comes on and the power LED and the
WLAN LED light up.
A flashing green, blue or cyan power LED and a solid WLAN LED indicate the device
is in service and ready to connect.
Use your normal WLAN manager on your computer to locate the Vodafone Mobile
Broadband Hotspot wireless network.
Note: The steps to connect to a WLAN network vary depending on your operating system
and whether you use the native application or third-party software. Generally you click an
icon (often in the System Tray for Windows or choose
System Preferences > Network on
a Mac) where you can select “View Available Wireless Networks.” If you are unfamiliar with
wireless networking on your computer, consult the computer help system.
Tip!
If multiple wireless networks are found, highlight the one with the name
VodafoneMobileHotspot_xxxx. (Note: The xxxx is a number derived from your device
serial number / SIM)
Click Connect.
