Connect in USB Modem Mode
MobiLink is a multi-platform application for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux with common software,
the Connection Manager, for all three operating systems.
The MiFi 2200 is pre-configured with MobiLink software, so no installation CD is needed. On
Windows, the MiFi 2200 automatically installs MobiLink the first time it is inserted into the
computer's USB port. On Mac OS X, the MiFi 2200 opens a Finder window with an installer package
the first time it is inserted into the computer's USB port.
NOTE
You cannot use the MiFi in WiFi mode while it is plugged into a USB port.
