Connecting to the Verizon
Network
The PinPoint‐E uses Verizon as an ISP (Internet Service
Provider) to connect you to the Internet.
Steps of a connection:
1.
When your PinPoint‐E is powered on, it automatically
searches for cellular service using EV‐DO or 1x.
2.
Your PinPoint‐E establishes a PPP (Point to Point Protocol
or “dial” up connection) link to the Verizon network, also
called registering on the network, and receives an IP
address.
3.
When your PinPoint‐E has received its IP address from
Verizon, a connection to the Internet or the cellular
network is also available for a computer or other device
connected directly to the PinPoint‐E.
