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.
