Using FREEDOM4 WiFi's ConnectionManager

The ConnectionManager will start automatically in small view, to open the large view of the ConnectionManager you need to click on the large arrows.


ConnectionManager

You can connect with the ConnectionManager through an "Automatic" connection or a "Manual" connection. When you select "Automatic"; the ConnectionManager will automatically connect with the connection that is on top of the list under the Connections tab, when you press the "Connect" button. The button will change into "Disconnect" once clicked. When "Disconnect" is pressed the connection will terminate. It is possible to change the order of connections, how to do this can be found in the help file that is present in the ConnectionManager or the User Manual.


ConnectionManager

When you want to connect with the "Manual" option, you need to select the connection you want to use and click "Connect". The ConnectionManager will use the selected connection under either the "Connections" tab or "Networks" tab.

Using Huawei's Mobile Partner

There may be a number of reasons why you cannot get FREEDOM4 WiFi's ConnectionManager to work on your computer. Therefore we ask you to try Installing the Mobile Partner Software.
