latest or most appropriate copy of the software with your cellular data card and thus
you do not need to perform the update check??”which of course cannot be performed

The wizard process then gives you the option to let the VZAccess Manager program
be your single interface for Wi-Fi/802.11 and cellular/WWAN (Wireless Wide

Since the VZAccess Manager program will work with many types of cellular data
connections, you have to give it a head start by choosing the type of connection you
have, as shown in Figure 7-5. The Data Cable option refers to PC-to-cell phone connection
through a USB cable, and this connection type requires some reconfiguration
of your phone to enable this option (consult your cell phone dealer).
