3.3 Connecting
Once your device is properly configured, connecting to the Internet is as simple as
selecting the network connection type shown in the list and clicking the connect
button.
1. Select Alltel Wireless Internet.
2. Click the “Connect” button when it becomes enabled.
Once connected, the “Connect” button will change to “Disconnect”. Simply
click this to end your current connection. To connect to any other network
shown, select it, and then select “Connect”.
The Status Bar
Information regarding your current network connection can be seen in the
status bar along the bottom of the QuickLink Mobile interface. For more
information on this status bar, see the section “The Status Bar” in the
“Additional Features” section.
* If you are using a WWAN (1xEV-DO/1xRTT/CDMA) device that supports the
Alltel Wireless Dial-Up-Data service and you made wireless copies of your
dial-up accounts, they will also appear. See the section “Creating Wireless
Copies of your Dial-Up Connections”. Optionally you can have all dial-up
connections appear in QuickLink Mobile and use it to launch any dial-up
networking connection.
* The first time you connect with the Alltel Wireless Internet connection, a
connectivity warning message will appear. You have the option to suppress these
warning messages when they are displayed.
QuickLink Mobile will display status information at the bottom during the
connection process as well as while connected. When not connected, the status
text will display “Not connected” for the currently selected network. The timer will
display “00:00:00”. Once connected, the status text will display “Connected” and
the elapsed timer will begin to run.
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. To determine if all connections appear in the drop down list or only your
wireless ones.
