• If you are using a BroadbandAccess capable device, a BroadbandAccess
connection will be created.
• This connection will use BroadbandAccess if available and will automatically
attempt a NationalAccess connection when BroadbandAccess is not available.
The VZGlobal Service:
• VZGlobal will only be listed as an available connection if (a) you used the wizard
to setup your WWAN device, (b) you are using a VZGlobal-capable device, and
(c) a VZGlobal signal is available in your area.
For further troubleshooting tips, please refer to Troubleshooting.
About the Networks View
By default, VZAccess Manager opens to the “Networks” view. The Networks 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. 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 after starting VZAccess Manager,
select “Refresh Networks” from the “Options” menu. This will cause VZAccess
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
SSID, they will always be displayed, and you will have to refer to the signal strength
displayed to know when you are in range.
NOTICE: 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 NationalAccess connection is only created when the WWAN option is
selected during setup and if you are using a NationalAccess capable device that
does not support the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess service. If you are using a
BroadbandAccess capable device a BroadbandAccess connection will be created.
This connection will use BroadbandAccess if available and will automatically
attempt a NationalAccess connection when BroadbandAccess is not available.
NOTICE: If you change wireless devices, you will need to run the Setup Wizard
again. To do this make sure that your wireless device and cable are connected,
then select “Run Wizard” from the “Options” menu.
