Getting Started
Double click on the VZAccess Manager icon on your desktop or click on the Windows Start menu and select VZAccess Manager from the list of Programs.
About the Connect View
The VZAccess Manager will open to the Connect view by default. This view is where you manage your wireless connections. The Connect view displays all currently available network connections.
At a glance you can see the signal strength and battery level (if applicable) of your WWAN or Wi-Fi network. Select "Refresh Networks" or "Refresh Signal Levels" from the "Options" menu to update the information in this panel. Your current connection state and the elapsed time of the connection are displayed along the bottom of the status bar.
If your expected connection does not appear or if you connected your wireless phone and cable, or inserted your wireless CDMA PC Card or Wi-Fi Card after starting VZAccess Manager, select "Refresh Networks" from the "Options" menu. This will cause VZAccess Manager to look for your wireless device(s) and verify network availability. If you have any Wi-Fi networks you manually added because they do not broadcast their SSID, they will always be displayed, and you will have to refer to the signal strength displayed to know when you are in range. See the section "Wi-Fi Specific Settings" for additional details.
Note that with certain Wi-Fi adapters the signal strength for Wi-Fi networks is not accurate until you connect to the network.
Note: The Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection is only created when the WWAN option is selected during setup and if your wireless device supports it. The NationalAccess connection is only created when the WWAN option is selected during setup and if you are using a NationalAccess capable device that does not support the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess service. If you are using a BroadbandAccess capable device a NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess connection will be created. This connection will use BroadbandAccess if available and will automatically attempt a NationalAccess connection when BroadbandAccess is not available.
If you change phones or PC Cards, you will need to run the Setup Wizard again. To do this make sure that your phone and cable are connected, then select "Run Wizard" from the "Options" menu.
