Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot user guide - Sprint

From this window, you can view or adjust these settings, or perform the following actions:
● Active Network — This is the network that is currently being used for your data connection: 3G,
4G, or none.
● Network Operator — This field shows the carrier that your device was activated with.
● Session Duration — The session duration indicates how long you’ve been connected to the
network.
● Session Total Data — This indicates the amount of data transferred over the lifetime of the device
(by network type) and in the current session.
● Work Mode — This indicates the 3G and 4G activation/provisioning status of your device and
account. Technical support staff may request this value from you.
● WAN Mode — This setting specifies the network(s) to connect to, and in what order.
� 3G preferred — The connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available,
3G is used.
� 4G preferred — The connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available,
4G is used. This setting is recommended if your service provider has no data limit for 4G,
but does for 3G, or you want to take advantage of the faster data transfer speeds of 4G.
� 3G only — The connection can be established only to 3G. (If you don’t have 4G coverage,
you can save power by selecting 3G Only.)
� 4G only — The connection can be established only to 4G.
● Connect Automatically — You can set your device to connect to the network when the device
powers on. To prevent this from happening when you’re roaming on 3G, also select Disable
when roaming.
● Failover Wait-time — This setting specifies how long the device should wait, after it loses the
connection with the preferred network, before it attempts to connect to the other network (not
available if WAN mode is “3G only” or “4G only”).
● Switchback Wait-time — This setting specifies how long the device should wait, when the lesspreferred
network is connected and the preferred network becomes available, before switching
to the preferred network (not available if WAN mode is “3G only” or “4G only”).
● Update 3G PRL — You can check whether an updated PRL is available.
The PRL (Preferred Roaming List) is an account configuration item set by your service provider.
It controls the radio channels and network carrier used by the 3G modem. An updated PRL
may improve your 3G network service.
Note: A 3G connection to the Internet won’t be available until the update is complete. (The 4G connection
won’t be affected.)
● Update 3G Profile — You can check whether an updated profile for your 3G connection is
available. An updated profile may improve your 3G network service.
● Manual Activation — Click this link if you need to configure Data Link and the Mobile IP settings.
(For information on Data Link, see “How Do I Access My Corporate Network Through a VPN?”
on page 124.)
