IMPORTANT

Please note: “Data Received” and “Data Transmitted” as seen on this Diagnostics

page are not representative of actual billable data usage when data is transmitted or received

on the Verizon Wireless Network. Due to different network protocol overheads and protocol

conversions, the data transmitted on the Verizon Wireless Network differs from what is observed

on the device. Please see the

Usage

tab in

VZ

Access Manager during USB mode to view the

estimated data usage for your current billing cycle.

Additionally, when using MiFi in WiFi mode, you do not get usage alerts when connecting or be

able to track your usage with the

Usage

button in

VZ

Access Manager. Please periodically connect

in USB mode using

VZ

Access Manager to track your unbilled usage for the current billing cycle.

Port Forwarding

The Advanced Menu includes the Port Forwarding screen.

The Port Forwarding feature allows incoming traffic (from the Internet) to be forwarded to a

particular computer or device on MiFi 2200’s wireless network. Normally, incoming traffic from the

Internet is blocked.

You need to use Port Forwarding to allow Internet users to access any server you are running on

your computer, such as a Web server, FTP server, or E-mail server. Also, for some online games, Port

Forwarding must be used for the game to function correctly.

IMPORTANT

Port forwarding creates a security risk. This feature should be disabled when it is

not required.

Using Port Forwarding

A number of common server applications are listed. To use any of these applications, follow this

procedure:

➊

±

Install the application on a computer that is connected to MiFi 2200’s wireless network

(WLAN).

➊

➋

Ensure the computer is connected to MiFi 2200, and record the computer’s IP address for the

MiFi Settings Web UI.

➊

➌

On the Port Forwarding screen, type the computer’s IP Address in the

IP Address on WLAN

field

beside the application name.

➊

➍

Enable the corresponding application on this screen by selecting its checkbox.

➊

➎

Save your changes by clicking

Apply

.

➊

➏

Click

Home

to go to the Home screen, and make a note of MiFi 2200’s IP address.

➊

➐

Tell the person or company that needs port forwarding to connect to MiFi 2200’s IP address

of MiFi 2200 (by default, this is

). Connection requests are forwarded to the IP

address specified in step 3.

When no longer needed, the application should be disabled on this screen by de-selecting its

checkbox, and saving this change by clicking

Apply

. Leaving applications enabled unnecessarily

creates a security risk.

Power Management

The Advanced Menu includes the Power Management screen.

MiFi 2200 can switch to a low-power Standby mode. When using battery power, switching to

Standby mode greatly extends the battery life.

To exit Standby mode, press the power button.

Battery Power

When powered by the battery, MiFi 2200 switches to Standby mode after being idle for the selected

time period, provided that no WiFi devices are connected to MiFi.

To prevent switching to Standby mode, select

Never

.

NOTE 

Standby timer settings have no effect when MiFi 2200 is connected to a computer with a USB cable.

The timer options are from 2-60 minutes idle time, or never.
