Update System

Clock with CDMA

time during start-

up

All PCs have an internal clock called the

system clock. Depending on your

configuration, the time according to this

clock is usually displayed in the status

area, in the lower right corner of your

screen.

Generally you would use the Windows

Control Panel to change the time on the

system clock. This field gives you the

option of setting the time of your system

clock automatically from the CDMA

network each time you connect. This might

be useful to you if you frequently change

time zones. Use the check box to enable

and disable this feature. (It is enabled when

checked.)

TTY Mode

A TTY (TeleTYpewriter) is a device for

people with hearing and speech

impairments. The device allows people to

communicate over phone systems using a

typewriter-like keyboard.

When TTY Mode is enabled, you can

attach a TTY device to the headset

connector and use a TTY device with the

AirCard. Use the check box to enable and

disable this feature. (It is enabled when

checked.)

Note that this feature has not been tested

in the current release.

Enable Venturi

Client

Venturi Client is compression software that

increases data throughput between the

CDMA network and the AirCard, effectively

increasing the data transmission speed.

This compression can only be used where

it is available on the network. The Venturi

Client software necessary to using this

compression, is normally installed when

you install Watcher and the Network

Adapter Manager

When this option is enabled (assuming the

Venturi Client software is installed) Venturi

compression is used where available to

increase throughput. When disabled,

Venturi compression is not used even when

it is available on the network.

Use the check box to enable and disable

support for Venturi compression.
