8.1.1 Sharing the Mobile Data Connection
The Tethering & portable hotspot settings allow you to share your data connection. You can share the LEX L10
mobile data connection with a single computer via USB tethering or Bluetooth tethering. You can also share the data
connection with up to eight devices at once, by turning it into a portable WiFi hotspot. While the LEX L10 is sharing
its data connection, an icon appears at the top of the screen and a corresponding message appears in the notification
list.
8.1.1.1 USB Tethering
Note: USB tethering is not supported on computers running Mac OS. If your computer is running
Windows 7 or a recent version of Linux (such as Ubuntu), follow these instructions without any special
preparation. If running a version of Windows that precedes Windows 7, or some other operating system,
you may need to prepare the computer to establish a network connection via USB.
Note: After connecting the LEX L10 to a computer using USB tethering, the computer disconnects from
the network connection, for a short time, and does not have access to the Internet (the LEX L10 becomes
the primary network adapter).
Procedure:
1 Connect the LEX L10 to a host computer with the USB cable.
