Additional Setup Information
Getting started with your new Verizon Wireless Network Extender
is easy. This section walks you through an overview of the
product, package contents, activation, and how to contact
Verizon Wireless for assistance with your service and your base
station.
The Verizon Wireless Network Extender is used within your home
or home office to extend your Verizon Wireless coverage area
through an existing Internet broadband connection.
About the size of a traditional wireless access point (WAP), the
base station facilitates the delivery of cellular traffic through the
Internet to the Verizon Wireless network, which then routes the
signal to the desired party.
•
A maximum of three phones can connect to the Verizon Wireless
Network Extender at any one time.
–
The first three callers to initiate or receive a call will connect to the base
station. Additional users who make or receive a call, while all base
station channels are in use, are redirected to the nearest compatible
cell tower (if available).
–
As each caller ends a call, that channel then becomes available for
another user to initiate (or receive) a new call.
Note:
The base station can be managed to ensure Verizon Wireless phone
numbers you authorize will always enjoy priority access to the Network
Extender network. Up to 50 Verizon Wireless cell phones can be
registered on a specific base station.
•
Authorized account users can manage access settings for their Verizon
Wireless Network Extender by logging into My Verizon at
www.verizonwireless.com.
–
When the base station is set to managed access mode, unauthorized
users are redirected to the nearest compatible cell tower wherever
possible.
