1.6 Initial Connection and Setup — Overview
The Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot comes pre-configured with the Access Point
Number (APN) and other Vodafone network settings to allow you to use this device on the
Vodafone network without complex configuration or set-up.
You have two connection options when using the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot.
WLAN Mode
In WLAN mode you use the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot as an access point or
hotspot. You can connect any 802.11 b/g wireless device to the Vodafone Mobile
Broadband Hotspot. You can establish a secure profile so that others cannot use your
Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot unless you allow them. You can also establish
temporary settings to allow up to five devices to connect with the Vodafone Mobile
Broadband Hotspot without you having to give them your security settings.
USB Modem Mode
In USB Modem mode, you connect the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot directly to a
computer and use it as a modem. In this mode, WLAN is disabled. To use the Vodafone
Mobile Broadband Hotspot as a USB modem, you must install the Vodafone Mobile
Connect software and drivers – this happens automatically when you first plug the device
into your PC using a USB cable.
