4.2 GETTING STARTED

Double click on the Modem Manager icon on your desktop or click on the Windows Start menu and select Modem
Manager from the list of Programs.
About the Connect View
The Modem 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 Modem Manager, select "Refresh Networks" from the "Options" menu. This
will cause Modem 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 ID, 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 (14.4 kbps) connection is only created when the WWAN option is selected during setup and if your wireless
device supports it. The connection is only created when the WWAN option is selected during setup and if you are using a
capable device that does not support the Novatel Wireless service. If you are using a capable device a - connection will
be created. This connection will use if available and will automatically attempt a connection when 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.
