Update System
Clock with CDMA
time during start-
up
All PCs have an internal clock called the
system clock. Depending on your
configuration, the time according to this
clock is usually displayed in the status
area, in the lower right corner of your
screen.
Generally you would use the Windows
Control Panel to change the time on the
system clock. This field gives you the
option of setting the time of your system
clock automatically from the CDMA
network each time you connect. This might
be useful to you if you frequently change
time zones. Use the check box to enable
and disable this feature. (It is enabled when
checked.)
TTY Mode A TTY (TeleTYpewriter) is a device for
people with hearing and speech
impairments. The device allows people to
communicate over phone systems using a
typewriter-like keyboard.
When TTY Mode is enabled, you can
attach a TTY device to the headset
connector and use a TTY device with the
AirCard. Use the check box to enable and
disable this feature. (It is enabled when
checked.)
Note that this feature has not been tested
in the current release.
Enable Venturi
Client
Venturi Client is compression software that
increases data throughput between the
CDMA network and the AirCard, effectively
increasing the data transmission speed.
This compression can only be used where
it is available on the network. The Venturi
Client software necessary to using this
compression, is normally installed when
you install Watcher and the Network
Adapter Manager
When this option is enabled (assuming the
Venturi Client software is installed) Venturi
compression is used where available to
increase throughput. When disabled,
Venturi compression is not used even when
it is available on the network.
Use the check box to enable and disable
support for Venturi compression.
