VM3 WWAN Connection Manager

Access the VM3 Connection Manager from the icon in the system tray. Double tap the Connection Manager icon (or right-click
the icon and select Configuration Panel). The Connection Manager icon looks like this:
VM3 Connection Manager icon when there is no active WLAN or WWAN connection. The icon may be flashing in the
•
system tray when there is no connection..
WVM3 Connection Manager icon when there is an active WLAN connection.
•
VM3 connection manager icon when a WWAN connection is active. The icon indicates which SIM card is used (1 or
•
2) and the strength of the connection (1 to 4 bars).
Use the VM3 Connection Manager to:
• Configure WWAN connections
• Configure hyper-roaming between WWAN carriers or between WWAN and WLAN.
Hyper-Roaming Notes:
Hyper-Roaming Notes:
• The Connection Manager roams from WLAN to WWAN when the WLAN signal is weak enough to allow the roaming.
Due to the fact that WWAN signals are present in most areas, it is unlikely the Connection Manager will roam back to a
WLAN connection automatically. User intervention may be required to switch back to WLAN.
• Roaming to or between WWAN carriers is different than roaming between WLAN access points. In order for WWAN to
roam, the Connection Manager must first disconnect from the old WWAN carrier then establish a connection to the new
WWAN carrier.
• When hyper-roaming (either between WWAN carriers or between WLAN/WWAN) the network connection is temporarily
lost during the switching process. When switching to or between WWAN carriers, the connection manager must load
carrier firmware and this can take several minutes.
Connection troubleshooting:
If there is a connection issue, the first step in troubleshooting is to verify the APN on the Connection Type (page 7-44) tab.
