Using Your Device

A

When you click an icon or the text next to it, a window opens to the right (see the screenshot on

page 40). The window contains additional status information and, if you’re logged in, commonly-

used configurable settings. (See “Icons and Text” on page 39.)

B

Use this area to enter the administrator password and log in. When you’re logged in, you can

change settings. (See “Logging On as an Administrator” on page 31.)

C

Clicking one of these buttons displays a window or a menu. (See “Home Page Buttons” on

page 48.)

D

This is the Virtual Device; it reflects the status of your device. If you click the image, a movable

Mini Window is opened. (See “Virtual Device” on page 32 and “Mini Window” on page 32.)

E

A handy way to turn the device off, especially if, for example, you’re in an airplane before takeoff,

and the device is in your overhead bag. (This button is available only if you’re logged in.)

F

Disconnects a connection, or connects (if currently there’s no connection). (This button is

available only if you’re logged in.)

Displaying the Home Page of the Device

To display the home page, type one of the following in the address bar of your Web browser:

●

http://virginmobile.hotspot

●

●

SSID

value (field in

Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi > Network

and also in

Advanced Settings >

Router > LAN

)

If your Web browser displays an error message, see “Cannot Display the Home Page” on

page 128.

Logging On as an Administrator

You don’t need to log in to access and use the home page. When you log in:

●

Additional information appears in the window that opens when you click an item on the left side

of the home page. (See “Icons and Text” on page 39.)

●

You can access the

Advanced Settings

window, where you can modify additional settings.

●

You can rerun the device setup, if required (

Admin Setup

[

]).

●

You can install updates.

To log in:

1.

Make sure that nobody else is already logged in — other people can use the home page at

the same time, but only one user can be logged in.

2.

In the

Admin Login

section (in the upper left area of the home page), enter the administrator

password (1–20 characters or numbers). (The default password is “password.” It’s

recommended you change the password, if you haven’t already.)

3.

Click

OK

.

After a period of inactivity, you will be automatically logged off (timeout security feature), unless

you select

Remember me

(below the password field). (For more information, see “Automatic Login

(“Remember Me”)” on page 71.)

Note:

You can display the home page only when your device is turned on and you have established a

connection to it (through Wi-Fi or through the micro-USB cable).

Note:

If you’re using the Google Chrome Web browser, after typing in the address bar, press the Down

Arrow key and then the Enter key. (If you press only the Enter key, a Google search is started, using

the information you typed in.)

Using Your Device

Virtual Device

The right half of the home page contains an image of your device.

This is a “virtual device” — it reflects most of the icons and text displayed on the real device.

Mini Window

If you click the virtual device in the home page, the Mini Window opens — an image of the device in a

separate Web browser window

Similar to the virtual device, the Mini Window reflects most of the icons and text displayed on the real

device.
