Adapter Information

Resetting the Adapter

You should only need to reset the WiMAX adapter if it appears not to be working. All adapter activities will be stopped, your current WiMAX connection will be closed, and any search will be halted. Resetting takes from 5 to 10 seconds. This operation is similar to disabling and then enabling the adapter, using the Windows* Device Manager. After resetting is complete, the WiMAX adapter should be ready to connect.

If you click Reset WiMAX adapter, and you are also connected to WiMAX, the following message is displayed:

Warning - You are currently connected to WiMAX. Resetting the WiMAX adapter will disconnect you from WiMAX. Do you want to continue?

Click Yes or No. If you click Yes, the adapter resets and then reconnection to the disconnected network is attempted.


Settings

There are certain settings that affect your connection to WiMAX networks. These settings are initially in their factory default values, and may be periodically updated by your WiMAX service provider(s). Although very unlikely, these settings may need to be placed back in their factory default if WiMAX becomes unusable.

The following image is an example only.

The following options are provided.

Note that both of these options will also restore all Application Preferences to their default values (all notifications enabled).


How to Use

WARNING: You should only perform this operation when directed to do so by your service provider. This operation cannot be undone and may cause you to lose your ability to connect to WiMAX.

  1. On the main window, click Options > Advanced > Settings.
  2. Select Restore settings for all networks or Restore setting for this network only and click the desired network.
  3. Click Restore Settings.

If you are currently connected to a WiMAX network, you will see this message:

Warning - You are currently connected to WiMAX. Restoring settings will disconnect you from WiMAX. Do you want to continue?

  1. Click Yes or No.

A message displays confirming that settings were successfully restored.
