The Motorola Connection Manager Settings

Settings: Hardware

The Hardware tab displays information about the devices connected to
your computer. The following items can be found on this tab:

The Device List
This four column table takes up most of the tab's area. It is a list of all the
devices connected to your computer that may be used to establish network
connections. You can do the following here:
Enable and disable individual devices.
Choose which device to use.
For more information, see The Device List.

Allow simultaneous connections
If this box is checked, the Motorola Connection Manager will allow you to
establish more than one connection at a time (you could be connected to
both WiFi and WiMAX concurrently).
If this box is NOT checked, the Motorola Connection Manager will prompt
you to disconnect before allowing you to establish a second connection.

Prompt before switching connections
The Motorola Connection Manager software can automatically switch to a
higher priority network if one becomes available. The original connection is
shut down when the new connection is fully established, this has the
potential to disrupt any activity that was relying on the original connection.
The Motorola Connection Manager will prompt you for permission to
switch networks before it actually does so.

Include support for other network connections
When this box is checked, the Motorola Connection Manager will monitor
devices listed in the "Other Devices" group. When it detects that a device
listed in this group has established a connection, it can respond by shutting
down its own connections. For example, it can shut down a wireless
connection it has established when you connect to an Ethernet network. For
a disconnection to occur, both of the following must also be true.
In the Device List, the "other" device which has established a connection
must be selected in the "Other Devices" group (to see which devices are
currently selected, set the menu in the Selected column to "Manual").
