3.4 Using Dial Up Connections
This section is only applicable if you are using a WWAN Device that supports
Dial-Up connections (a wireless phone and cable or a Wireless Internet Card).
You can make wireless copies of existing dial up accounts on your system.
This will wirelessly enable them and allow you to connect to them wirelessly.
To launch the copy utility, select “Options”, “Dial-up Accounts” then “Copy”.
Click on the connection or connections you want to copy and click on the
“OK” button.
The new connection will have a suffix of “(Wireless)” and will be set to use
your wireless phone as the modem. If the utility is unable to automatically
recognize your existing area code and number, the existing number will be
displayed, and you will be prompted to enter the area code and number. The
utility configures the new wireless connections to always dial 11 digits, so that
they will work locally and also in other digital data coverage areas.
If it is determined that the connection might benefit by further optimization, an
additional connection with a “(Wireless Optimized)” suffix, will also be created.
This connection may connect faster. If you have trouble with the “(Wireless
Optimized)” connection, you can delete it from your dial-up networking folder
and use the “(Wireless)” connection.
To delete connections:
Windows XP users can access Dial-Up Networking from QuickLink Mobile by
selecting “Options”, “Control Panels”, “Network and Dial-up Connections”, right click
on the desired connection and select “Delete”.
