Section 2 gives you information about the menu options in the Administration home page.
Section 1: Your Device’s Browser Interface The Browser Interface Your PEEL™ 3200 uses a browser interface to let you access the Administration page to configure the device.

Internet Connection Internet Connection displays details about your current internet session. These details may be use to help troubleshoot any potential issues that may arise from using your PEEL™ 3200, as well as provide details on data used during your current session. 1. From the Administration screen, tap ‘Internet Connection’. 2. Tapping the ‘Disconnect’ button will disconnect the PEEL™ 3200 and any other devices connected to the PEEL™ 3200 from the Internet.
Wi-Fi Settings The Wi-Fi Settings screen lets you specify how your PEEL™ 3200 identifies itself to other Wi-Fi devices and lets you change the security levels and settings of your PEEL™ 3200’s Wi-Fi radio. Security You can use your PEEL™ 3200 with no security enabled (not recommended in public places) or you can turn on security, requiring a password for access to your device. (See "Wi-Fi Password" on page 8.) To turn on your device’s security: 1. From the Administration Screen, tap ‘Wi-Fi Settings’. 2.
Wi-Fi Settings SSID The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) is the network name your PEEL™ 3200 uses to identify itself to other Wi-Fi devices. The default SSID is ‘VirginMobile PEEL XXX’, where ‘XXX’ will be the last three characters of your device‘s MAC ID – a unique identifier printed on the sticker on the inside of your device. Note: Your PEEL™ 3200’s SSID can only be used by one iPod Touch® and one other Wi-Fi enabled computer or device. To change your device’s SSID: 1.
Wi-Fi Settings 8 Wi-Fi Password By default, your PEEL™ 3200 is not configured with a Wi-Fi password. When you have security enabled (see ‘Security’ in this section), and you wish to use your PEEL™ 3200 for Internet access, you must first enter a Wi-Fi password. Turning security on is recommended in public places such as coffee shops, restaurants, and airports. Otherwise, anyone can gain access to your PEEL™ 3200’s Wi-Fi network.
Wi-Fi Settings Tip: If you forget your Wi-Fi password, press your PEEL™ 3200’s Power button five times in quick succession (within a three-second period). Note that this will perform a factory rest on your device and you will lose all personalized device settings including your Admin Password/Username, Wi-Fi password, and SSID. SSID Broadcast By default, your device broadcasts its SSID, which anyone with a Wi-Fi device can see. As an extra measure of privacy, you can turn off the SSID broadcast.
Connected Devices In addition to your iPod touch, one other Wi-Fi-enabled computer or device can connect to your PEEL 3200’s Wi-Fi network. To see what devices are actively connected to your device: From the Administration screen, tap ‘Connected Devices’. Starting with your iPod Touch®, you will see any other computer or device connected to your PEEL™ 3200’s Wi-Fi network, listed by IP Address and Hostname, by number and MAC address, or both.
Device Settings On the Device Settings screen, you can check your battery strength (charge level), change your Admin UI Password, and set power-saving options. From the Administration screen, tap ‘Device Settings. Battery Strength The graphic next to Battery Strength directly corresponds to your battery’s charge level. The longer the bar, the more battery charge you have.
Device Settings Battery Strength and Network Signal Strength Your PEEL™ 3200 has 5 LED’s located on the back, which indicate both the device charge as well as the network strength. Tapping the Power button once will display the battery’s charge followed by the network strength after a brief pause. 5 green LED’s indicate a full charge or strongest coverage, while a single green LED indicates lowest charge or coverage. A single red LED indicates no battery charge remaining, or no network coverage.
Device Settings 13 Admin UI Password To change the password you use to log on to the Administration main menu: 1. Tap ‘Device Settings’. 2. Select the ‘Admin UI Username’ or ‘Admin UI Password’ text boxes and sue your keyboard to change to the desired value. 3. Tap ‘Apply’ to accept the new password, or tap ‘Cancel’ to reject the new password. 4. Power cycle your PEEL™ 3200 (turn it off and then on again) to apply the new Admin UI password.
Device Settings Standby Timer You can set your PEEL 3200 to go into standby mode after a set period of time has elapsed or you can prevent your device from entering standby mode altogether. You can use different settings depending on whether your device is using battery power or external (AC) power. To set your device’s standby time when on battery power: 1. Tap the button to the left of Disable, ‘10 Minutes’, or “30 Minutes” under Battery Standby Timer to select a timer setting. 2.
Factory Reset If you reset your PEEL™ 3200 to its factory settings, any changes you have made to settings will be permanently erased. Therefore, it is not recommended to perform a factory reset unless absolutely necessary. To reset your device, press your PEEL™ 3200’s Power button five times in quick succession (within a three-second period).
Pinhole Reset 16 If you experience any issues connecting your PEEL to your iPod or computer, or experience problems connecting to the Internet, you may need to perform a pinhole reset. Note: The pinhole reset does not reset any settings you have configured. To perform a pinhole reset, insert a pin or the tip of a pen into the pinhole located on the side of your PEEL and hold it for 3 seconds.
Device Information 17 If you need to contact the Virgin Mobile Customer care technical support team (877-877-8443), you may be asked to supply any or all of the data displayed on this screen. Under normal circumstances, however, you will not need to access the Device Information screen.
