Manually Connecting to the Sprint Mobile Broadband
Network
Before you begin, you will need the following:
 A 3G or 4G Sprint Mobile Broadband device that you will use to establish
connections. Windows device drivers for this device must be properly installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions and the device must be selected in
the Hardware tab of Sprint Smart View 's Settings window.
 A valid Sprint Mobile Broadband account.
 A network profile configured to access the Sprint network (Sprint SmartView
creates these automatically when you connect a supported Sprint Mobile
Broadband device).
Follow these steps to connect to a Mobile Broadband Network:
1. If you have not already done so, connect the device that you wish to use. Sprint
Smart View will begin searching for an available network.
2. If you want to switch from 3G to 4G (or vice versa), click Switch to 3G (or 4G).
Note that if you have a single device that supports both 3G and 4G connections rather
than two separate devices, there will be a few seconds delay while the device switches
modes.
3. When Sprint Smart View is ready, the connection status text on the Mobile Control
Panel will display "Ready:" followed by the name of the network that has been selected.
Click Connect to establish a connection.
Note: If you are using a GSM Mobile Broadband device for international roaming,
clicking the arrow on the right side of the Connection Status Indicator produces a menu
listing all GSM network profiles. Clicking this button produces a menu listing all GSM
network profiles. You can establish a connection using any profile listed simply by
selecting it from the menu. The default ("Sprint") profile, however, should be used when
connecting to any of Sprint's roaming partners. See International Roaming for more
information on roaming internationally.
