3. Configuring your Notebook to use Mobile Broadband

Basic Networking

The Mobile Service is delivered using a PCMCIA Card that connects to the PCMCIA slot on

your PC, Notebook or host Router.

If your computer is normally connected via a Wireless Card/Adapter, please ensure that

this device is disabled as per screenshot on the following page.

If you have a Wireless card installed it is recommended that you disable this device to

ensure your Mobile Broadband is the preferred connection used by the computer.

To disable the Wireless Card:

Windows  Vista

Navigate to the Vista Start Icon / Control Panel / Network and Internet / Network and

Sharing Centre / Manage Network Connections

Right-Click on ‘Wireless Network Connection’ and choose ‘Disable’

Windows XP

Navigate to Start / Settings / Control Panel / Network Connections

Right-Click on ‘Wireless Network Connection’ and choose ‘Disable’

You should see a screen similar to the screenshot below:

Please Note: Once installed correctly, the PCMCIA Card should be shown as connected

and device name is Flash OFDM NIC Device. When first installed, the device will be

named ‘Local Area Connection’ followed by a number, e.g. ‘Local Area Connection 3’ as

above. It is advised that you rename this device for convenience. To do this, simply right

click on the device name and choose ‘rename’. In the example on the following page, it

is renamed Digiweb Mobile BB. Once renamed, your PC / Notebook will automatically

recognise the Mobile Network card and assign the name you have chosen.

Card while directly connected to the PCMCIA slot on your PC/Notebook. The Mobility

Manager interface includes: Session information, Connection status, Connection

time, Kilobytes sent and received, Signal strength / Quality, Connection / Upgrade

Functionality, Upgrades and Help.

functionality of the Mobile Network Card. Please refer to the user guide of the host

Router.

Starting Mobility Manager

After installation and every time the Mobile Network Card is inserted into the PCMCIA

slot, the Mobility Manager application opens. If for any reason it does not open, initialize

the program by selecting the Start menu (Windows XP) or Vista Icon (Windows Vista) › All

Programs › Mobility Manager › Click on Mobility Manager or if you have chosen to set up a

shortcut Icon/Alias, you can initialize by clicking on this Icon/Alias.

If you have no shortcut Icon/Alias on your desktop, you can create one by selecting the

Start menu (Windows XP) or Vista Icon (Windows Vista) › All Programs › Mobility Manager

› Right Click on Mobility Manager › Click Send To / Desktop (create shortcut).

You should now see the above Mobility Manager Icon/Alias on your desktop.

Mobility Manager Indicators

Monitoring Connection Status and Connection Time

Mobility Manager indicates either “Connected” or “Searching”, depending on the

Connection Status. The light on the side of the card also blinks until a connection is

made. The Connection Time Indicator shows how long your notebook has been connected

to the network. When you end the session (turn the computer off or disable the session),

this value is reset to zero.

If Connection Status does not change to Connected after several seconds, check that:

• The computer is within the coverage area

• The Mobile Network Card is fully inserted into the PCMCIA card slot

• The card is “Enabled” via the Options menu

Monitoring Kilobytes Received and Sent

These indicators show the total number of bytes transmitted and received during the

current session.

Monitoring Signal Strength and Quality

Signal strength shows the power level of the signal you are receiving. When the signal is

strongest, four bars are shown. When it is weakest, one bar is shown. When the Mobile

Network Card is searching for a signal, the bars will scan from left to right.

Signal Quality measures the actual quality of the signal (signal in relation to surrounding

noise/interference).

Closing, Exiting and Ending Sessions

To close the Mobility Manager window, click the “X” in the top right corner of the

Windows interface or choose Options > Exit Note that this does not end the session. To

re-launch Mobility Manager, double click the Mobility Manager icon/alias.

Shutting down the computer ends the wireless broadband session. To end your session

without having to shut down your computer, use the “Disable” function. Click Options >

Disable. This is especially practical in places that allow for electronic devices, but do not

allow for wireless communication (e.g., airplanes, hospitals). To begin another session,

click Options > Enable.

Enabling and Disabling the Mobile Network Card

To end a wireless broadband connection without shutting down the computer, click

Options > Disable. Mobility Manager disables the connection and displays “Disabled”.

To begin another session, click Options > Enable. When searching for the connection,

Mobility Manager displays Searching. When the connection is found, Mobility Manager

displays Connected.
