Right click on the
HotSync®
icon in your task tray and the menu below will appear. Click on "Local Serial" and "Local
USB" to remove the check marks. This effectively disables
HotSync®
and if it is causing a conflict this will allow your
WWAN device to work. You can repeat this process to put the check marks back to re-enable HotSync®. If you are using
an early version of HotSync®, you may not be able to uncheck the "Local" options without first checking "Modem" or
"Network." If this is the case, you can always select "Exit" to close
HotSync®
and launch it from the Start Menu the next
time you need it.
To turn Windows CE Services On & Off
For the original Windows CE services: Right click on the Windows CE Services icon in your task tray and select/deselect
"Enable Serial Connection." Make sure it is unchecked for Mobile Office and checked when you want to sync your
Windows CE based PDA.
For Microsoft ActiveSync®: Right click on the
ActiveSync®
icon in your task tray and select "Connection Settings".
Select/deselect "Allow serial cable or infrared connection to this COM port:" and "Allow USB connection with this desktop
computer". Make sure they are unchecked if you are having trouble connecting with your WWAN device and restore
them to their original settings when syncing your PDA. Click "OK" when finished.
7.2 PROXY SETTINGS
Most corporations go through a proxy server to access the Internet via the corporate network. If you wish to access the
internet directly through the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess or the Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps)
connection, proxy settings must be turned off. If you are connecting to your corporation's network using VPN (Virtual
Private Networking) and your corporation uses proxies, then you would need the correct proxy settings to be able to
access the Internet. For exact details on the proxy settings needed when accessing your corporate network, contact your
corporate network technical support department if you need additional assistance.
Performance, when accessing the Internet directly, is improved because you eliminate any overhead of the VPN client.
Also for the NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess and Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection, if the Venturi
compression software is installed, it will also increase performance when you are accessing the Internet directly. When
using a VPN client, it creates a secure connection to your corporate network and prevents accessing the Venturi
compression servers on the Verizon Wireless network, so Venturi is of no value when you are using VPN.
Proxy settings if using Internet Explorer (version 5 and newer)
If you are using proxy settings, when connected to a corporate network via your Network adapter, they will be entered
under LAN settings. These settings apply to devices that appear to windows as Network adapters - this includes Wi-Fi
adapters as well as your Network adapter. You can access the LAN Settings by doing the following:
Step 1: In Internet Explorer, select "Tools", "Internet Options".
