From this menu you have access to your system’s “Modem,” “Network and Dial-Up
Connections,” and “Internet” control panels. You can also see all control panels by
selecting “All.”
Dial-Up Accounts: Add, edit, or copy wireless dial-up accounts.
• Add Wireless: This is used to create a wireless dial-up connection from scratch.
• Add Other: This is used to create a regular dial-up connection from scratch.
• Edit: This is used to edit properties of any dial-up connection.
• Copy: See section on “Using Dial-Up Connections.”
NOTE: The “Dial-Up Accounts” menu option is not available for GPRS/UMTS

supports dial-up accounts.
4.5 The Options Menu
Refresh Networks: This causes VZAccess Manager to verify devices connected
and to scan for available Networks. Use this feature if you connected your
equipment after launching VZAccess Manager. Pressing the F6 function key can
also access this option.
Refresh Signal Levels: Available only with handsets, this causes VZAccess
Manager to query signal levels and update its display. This will also update the
battery display for your WWAN device if it is not in an active data session. Signal
levels are automatically refreshed when you launch VZAccess Manager, connect or
disconnect. Pressing the F5 function key can also access this option.
Statistics: If you selected to detect and install Wi-Fi during installation, there will
be a Wi-Fi statistics tab with additional information and tools that are helpful in the
event any troubleshooting of the connection is required. You can view key statistics
including bandwidth and your IP address information, release your IP address,
renew your IP address. If you selected to detect and install a WWAN device during
installation, there will be a Statistics tab that will show data speeds during a session
when using the WWAN device. NationalAccess delivers typical speeds of 60 to 80
Kbps, bursting up to 144 Kbps. BroadbandAccess provides broadband-like speeds
(up to 1.54 Mbps). There is also a “My Computer” tab; this tab has key information
about your computer that may be helpful in troubleshooting any problems that
may occur. It also has the option of being e-mailed to Verizon Wireless Technical
Support.
