M600W Mobile Broadband Module 6 Section 2, 2. DEVICE ACTIVATION  Device Activation Overview  Activation Wizard Tutorial
M600W Mobile Broadband Module 7 Device Activation Overview Some Sprint Mobile Broadband devices may require activation (programming) prior to use. If your device needs such an action, Sprint Smart View will inform you and start the activation process when you connect the device. Although the activation process will vary depending on the make, model and firmware version of your device, all activations fall into one of the following categories:  Hands-Free Activation Sprint Smart View will simply inform you that it is activating your device and periodically give you updates about activation status. No intervention is required on your part.  One-Touch Activation Sprint Smart View will display a popup window that indicates that your device requires activation/programming and asks you if you would like to activate/program the device now. Click Yes to activate your device. If you choose to cancel activation at this time (by clicking No), you can restart activation by disconnecting the device from your computer and then attaching it again. One-Touch Activation can also be restarted by selecting Activate Device from the Tools menu, or by clicking the Activate Device button on the Mobile Settings Page, depending on your device.  Activation Wizard For some devices, Sprint Smart View will display an “activation wizard” when the device is connected. Although such devices require a few more steps to activate than those that use the techniques mentioned above, the wizard provides clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process. Although you have the option to cancel the activation process at any time, you will not be able to use the device for data connections until it has been successfully activated. To restart activation after you have cancelled, just disconnect your device from your computer and then attach it again. The activation Wizard is accessible from the Tools menu by selecting "Activate Device". Anytime there are problems with your connection, or for new service, you can go through this wizard.

When the "Automatically run this application on machine startup" check box is checked and this check box is checked, Sprint Smart View will automatically start minimized to the System tray each time you start your computer. If the "Automatically run this application on machine startup" check box is not checked, this setting does nothing. Transparency This menu allows you to increase the transparency of Sprint Smart View’s main window. Zoom This menu lets you stretch the main user interface up to twice its default size. Reset all warning messages Sprint Smart View provides various warning messages that can be disabled if you do not want to see them (typically, this involves checking a "Do not show me this message again" box). You can turn all of these warning messages back on by clicking the Reset button. Settings: Hardware The Hardware tab is used to configure hardware-related settings for establishing connections. The following items can be found on this tab:
M600W Mobile Broadband Module 35 The Device List This four-column table takes up most of the tab's area. It is a list of all the devices connected to your computer that may be used to establish network connections. From the device list, you can:  Enable and disable individual devices.  Choose from multiple devices of the same type.  Configure extended properties for mobile broadband devices.  Change other settings and functions for connected devices. For more information, see The Device List. Device Priority If there are two or more devices within a technology type and Automatic is selected in the Selection column, the devices within that technology type can be reordered to specify priority. The first device within a technology type has the highest priority for that technology type. Use the Up and Down buttons, located below the Device List, to change the order in which the devices are listed within their technology type. Allow simultaneous connections If this box is checked, Sprint Smart View will allow you to establish more than one connection at a time. (For example, you could be connected to both WiFi and Mobile Broadband concurrently.) If this box is NOT checked, Sprint Smart View will prompt you to disconnect before allowing you to establish a second connection. Note: Some VPN connections, such as those established with the Checkpoint VPN client, may be seen as separate connections by the Sprint Smart View software. If the Allow simultaneous connections box is NOT checked, you may see a "Multiple Connections Not Allowed" error message if you try to make such a VPN connection. Prompt before switching connections When in automatic connection mode, the Sprint Smart View software can automatically switch to a higher priority network if one becomes available. However, since the original connection is shut down once the new connection is fully established, this has the potential to disrupt any activity that was relying on the original connection. If this box is checked, Sprint Smart View will prompt you for permission to switch networks before it actually does so.
M600W Mobile Broadband Module 36 CDMA/WiMAX Dual-Mode Settings (Dual-Mode Devices Only) These settings appear only if your mobile broadband device supports both CDMA and WiMAX. Use these settings to specify when the Sprint Smart View software will switch the device from WiMAX mode to CMDA mode. There are two options:  Automatic — Whenever you connect your Mobile Broadband device, the Sprint Smart View software will switch the device to WiMAX mode. If you fail to connect via WiMAX, the software will switch the device to CDMA mode.  CDMA Only — The Sprint Smart View software will leave the device in CDMA mode at all times. A third option, WiMAX Only, is not available at this time. Profiles Click this button to open the ‘The Network Profiles Window’. Settings: Location/GPS The Location/GPS tab in the settings window configures Sprint Smart View's ability to locate nearby restaurants, banks, hotels etc., using the Global Positioning System (GPS) in conjunction with Internet-based mapping and search services. The following settings can be found here: Disable GPS on Device Checking this box disables GPS on your mobile broadband device and removes all GPS-related menu items and buttons from Sprint Smart View's user interface. Do not show Privacy Consent Agreement for... Checking any of these three items suppresses the display of the corresponding Privacy Consent Agreement. The first two of the privacy consent agreements listed in this space appear the first time you attempt to use GPS. You must accept both of these agreements in order to use any of Sprint Smart View's GPS functions. The third privacy consent agreement appears when you click the GPS indicator to turn it yellow. You must accept this agreement if you wish to use your GPS Receiver with third-party GPS applications Note that an indication of whether you have accepted each of these agreements is immediately to the right. Automatically start GPS when a CDMA connection is established
M600W Mobile Broadband Module 37 If this box is checked, Sprint Smart View will begin acquiring GPS data automatically whenever you successfully connect to a CDMA mobile broadband network. Mapping Service Default Use this control to select which mapping and search service you want to use when searching for nearby restaurants, banks, etc. GPS Mode If your mobile broadband device supports multiple GPS modes, you can select which mode your device should use. Configure GPS Applications Click this button to open the GPS Applications Window. This window can be used to add more application icons to the GPS Applications menu. Test GPS Click this button to test your GPS device by querying it for your current location. Note that test results appear to the right. Explanations of the individual data fields can be found below. ** Descriptions for GPS Data Fields GPS Port The next available NMEA port available for use by a GPS application. Some applications require that you enter this port number prior to using them. Heading The approximate direction in which you are moving. Compass headings range from 0 degrees (due north) to 360 degrees, with 90 being due east, 180 due south, and 270 degrees due west. Speed An estimate of the speed at which you are moving. Latitude Your current latitude, expressed in degrees and rounded to four decimal places. Positive numbers indicate north latitude from 0 to 90 degrees. Negative numbers indicate south
M600W Mobile Broadband Module 38 latitude from 0 to 90 degrees. In either case, 0 is the equator and 90 is the latitude of the polar region. Longitude Your current longitude, expressed in degrees and rounded to four decimal places. Longitude 0 is at the prime meridian, which passes through Greenwich, England. Positive numbers up to 180 indicate locations east of that location. Negative numbers to -180 indicate locations west of the prime meridian. HEPE Horizontal Estimated Position Error. This is a measure of the accuracy of your calculated position. So, if the HEPE is 43 feet, you could be as much as 43 feet from the coordinates indicated by your device’s GPS receiver. Satellites The number of satellites your GPS receiver has acquired. At least 3 are required to provide latitude and longitude. At least 4 are required to provide an altitude. Additional satellites provide greater accuracy (7 or more is considered excellent). Last Fix The date and time that your GPS receiver was last able to update its location data. Altitude Your current altitude above sea level(in feet). Note that because of the inherent difficultly in determining altitude via GPS, the margin of error for altitude may be somewhat larger than the HEPE (the margin of error for latitude and longitude). Settings: Sounds The Sounds tab allows you to configure Sprint Smart View to play a sound when various events occur. You can also specify the sounds that Sprint Smart View plays. To enable this feature, check the Enable sounds box. Once the feature is enabled, checking the box for an event you wish to associate with a sound, and then click Browse to select the sound file that you wish to play (a Windows .WAV file). You can specify sounds for the following events: Connected Plays a sound when Sprint Smart View successfully connects to a Wi-Fi network.
M600W Mobile Broadband Module 39 Lost Connection Plays a sound when Sprint Smart View disconnects from or loses its connection to a Wi-Fi network. Hot Spot Authentication Plays a sound when Sprint Smart View associates with and connects to a Hot Spot. Settings: Updates The Updates tab allows you to specify how often (if ever) Sprint Smart View attempts to retrieve updates to its software and its databases. Update Now Click this button to have to have Sprint Smart View immediately check for available updates. If new updates are available, an update wizard will appear. This wizard allows you to choose which updates you want to download and install. Apply Firmware Update As part of its update process, Sprint Smart View can download updates to your Mobile Broadband device's firmware. Normally, such an update will be installed as soon as it is downloaded. In some cases, however, you can choose to defer the update's installation until later. Click Apply Firmware Update to install an update that you had earlier chosen to defer. Automatically download and install Select this option to have Sprint Smart View automatically download and install product updates at regular intervals. Note: Automatic updates are silent. You will not see the update wizard when updates are downloaded silently. Prompt me to download and install Select this option and enter an interval if you would like Sprint Smart View to periodically prompt you to download and install product updates. Manually download and install
M600W Mobile Broadband Module 40 Select this option if you want product updates to be downloaded only when you click the Update Now button. Settings: VPN The VPN tab specifies how Sprint Smart View accesses Virtual Private Networks. The top item, Do not use VPN, disables Sprint Smart View's capacity to log into VPNs. This is the correct setting if you do not wish to establish connections to Virtual Private Networks. You must choose one of the other three options and fill in the corresponding fields if you wish to do either of the following things:  Connect to a VPN by clicking the VPN icon in the main window.  Automatically log into a VPN when you connect to a specific network (see Automatically Launching a VPN Connection). Use existing VPN profile Select this option if the VPN client software you will be using is supported by Sprint Smart View . Then, specify the supported VPN client software and the Login Profile that you want to use. Use third party VPN client Select this option if the VPN client software will be using is NOT supported by Sprint Smart View . Then, follow these steps: 1. Click Browse. 2. Select the program file to be launched. 3. Click Open. The path of the selected file should now appear in the Command line field. 4. If the VPN client software requires that additional parameters be included after the program filename on the command line, these may be entered in the Parameters field. Consult the documentation for your VPN Client to determine if such parameters are needed. Auto Launch Check this box if you want new Network Profiles created to automatically launch the VPN software specified above each time you connect. Note that this is only a default.

M600W Mobile Broadband Module 42 Section 7, 7. SUPPORT  Trouble Shooting  Warranty  Safety Information
M600W Mobile Broadband Module 43 Trouble Shooting Application Launch Issues Application is not visible after launch Sprint Smart View is designed to open in the display state from which it was last exited. As such, it is possible that Sprint Smart View will launch directly to its minimized state, causing you to assume that it is not running. Resolution — Look for a minimized Sprint Smart View in the Windows taskbar. If Sprint Smart View is present, just click on it to return it to its normal state. Auto launching of Sprint Smart View at Startup Sprint Smart View installation can be configured to allow the application to automatically launch when a computer boots up or when a new user logs into the machine. This may (or may not) be the way you prefer it to behave. Resolution — You can access the setting that controls this behavior by selecting Settings from the Tools menu and then choosing the Client tab. Check (or uncheck) the Automatically run this application on machine startup box to specify whether Sprint Smart View should be automatically launched. Windows XP’s native Wi-Fi management is shut down at startup This behavior is intentional. Sprint Smart View provides significantly more powerful Wi-Fi management than XP’s native Wi-Fi engine. However, if you prefer XP’s native tool, you can disable Sprint Smart View’s Wi-Fi management entirely. See Zero Config Wi-Fi for more information. Connection Issues Multiple Connections Not Allowed This error message appears if both of the following conditions are met:  The Allow simultaneous connections box on the Hardware Tab of the Settings window is not checked.  You attempted to establish a second connection while you were still connected using another technology. Note: VPN connections established by certain VPN client software (such as Checkpoint
M600W Mobile Broadband Module 44 VPN) may appear to Sprint Smart View as a second connection. In such cases, you may also see this message. ** Resolution To prevent this error message from appearing: 1. Select Settings from the Tools menu. 2. Click the Hardware tab. 3. Check the Allow simultaneous connections box. 4. Click OK.
