Service Settings (Mode)
The Mode section is used to set your connection preferences or
service settings. You can choose to connect to only 1xEV-DO
(high speed) or 1xRTT (low speed) wireless networks, or you
can let Sprint Connection Manager select your network
connections.
The Mode section gives you the following options to choose from:
ⅷ

: Select the Automatic option if you would like to
have Sprint Connection Manager select your connections.
By selecting this option, Sprint Connection Manager will
automatically select one of the wireless networks available
in your area when you launch a connection.
ⅷ EVDO Only: Select the EVDO Only option if you would like
to have Sprint Connection Manager connect to only
1xEV-DO networks. You can disable EVDO Mode at any
time if you are not connected to any network by selecting
another option.
Note:
The first time you enable the Network Adapter (NDIS) mode,
Windows will automatically install the network drivers for the
Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem - Novatel Wireless EV-DO
Network Adapter. Once Windows detects the new hardware, a
“Found New Hardware” pop-up message will appear in your
system tray followed by the “Ready to Use” message.
Your USB modem must be activated with Sprint and you must be
within the Sprint coverage area for your device to work.
