A window will also slide out of the tray showing when you connect and disconnect from networks.




The pop up status can be turned off, if desired, by selecting "Options," "Preferences," "Options" tab, un-checking "Show popup status windows by tray." Right clicking on the tray icon provides various options and double clicking on it will always show the application. Placing your cursor on it will display the current connection status.

Based on your preferences, your browser or e-mail or VPN program can be launched automatically, or you can launch whatever software you want to use. You can also determine if all connections show in the drop down list or only your wireless ones, see Setting Your Preferences.

Note: Always use VZAccess Manager when connecting via the NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess, or Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection. This will ensure that the Venturi compression software is enabled and the wireless device is configured properly before connecting.

At any time during your connection you can check your current connection speed and throughput stats in the Statistics tab of the Session Information window. To see this window, select "Statistics" from the "Options" menu.




The Session Information window will also contain a My Computer tab and a Wi-Fi tab if applicable. The My Computer tab contains detailed information about your computer. This information is helpful when troubleshooting a problem.
