Connect Preferences allows you to set your wireless connection and switching rules. To access Connect Preferences, Select Options > Preferences from the main menu. Connect is the default view.

Do not allow connectivity when roaming: Enabling this option will disconnect and prevent new connections if the mobile broadband device is in roaming coverage. This option is disabled if using NDIS mode. VZAccess Manager supports this feature only with newer NDIS-enabled devices; if not supported, the option will not appear.

WWAN connection type: There are two mobile broadband network interface connection modes - NDIS mode and Modem mode. NDIS Mode provides an "always on", Internet connection with faster connection times and improved intelligent data traffic routing over legacy Modem Mode (Dial-up networking) connections.

• | Modem Mode - Manually connect

• | Modem Mode - Auto connect except when roaming

• | NDIS Mode - Auto connect

• | NDIS Mode - Auto connect except when roaming (available option if you are using the Windows 7 operating system and your mobile broadband device is Windows 7 mobile broadband device compliant)

• | NDIS Mode - Manually connect (available option if you are using the Windows 7 operating system and your mobile broadband device is Windows 7 mobile broadband device compliant)

Please note that an NDIS broadband connection will remain active even if you exit VZAccess Manager. For a list of devices that support NDIS mode go to http://vzam.net/download/supported.aspx.

Also note that for certain devices, NDIS sessions are not logged in the Session Log.
