Using a Verizon MiFi for use with VRS Networks and a TSC3
The Verizon MiFi is an Intelligent Mobile Hotspot that lets you create a personal, portable Wi-Fi
hotspot capable of sharing Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband 3G high-speed Internet connectivity
with up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices.
1. Follow the directions in the Tips, hints and shortcuts manual provided for charging your MiFi
before continuing with making the WiFi connections to the TSC3 to receive VRS corrections.
2. It is recommended that the MiFi device get charged at least 2.5 hours to ensure a full initial
charge.
3. Once charging is complete we are now ready to activate the device.
4. Activation of the MiFi device is performed on your desktop PC.
5. Turn on your computer and close all open applications.
6. Insert the USB Cable in to the USB port on the MiFi device and the other end into the USB port
of your computer.
7. The MiFi device powers on automatically and the VZAccess Manager Software Installer
launches and the MiFi drivers automatically once installation is complete. If the VZAccess
Manager Software does not automatically install, go to Start/My Computer and click to open
the CD-ROM drive with the Verizon Wireless icon. Click on setup.exe and wait a few moments
for the software and drivers to automatically install.
8. Launch the VZAcess Manager software. The first time you launch VZAccess Manager, the
Setup Wizard appears. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the device. When
prompted select PC Card or USB Modem as device type. Don not select Tethered device.

10. Unplug the MiFi from your computer. Once you unplug the MiFi from your computer, the MiFI
remains powered on. Press and hold the power button for three seconds to power off the device.
