78 Section 3C: Changing Sprint Connection Manager Settings (Windows)
The following table describes the options:
Menu Item Description
Always show
Welcome
Screens
Display a welcome screen upon a successful connection to the
network.
GO
automatically
when ready
Automatically connect to the network after Sprint Connection
Manager starts, or whenever Sprint Connection Manager
loses the network connection.
To select GO automatically when ready, ensure that Enable
Network Adapter (NDIS) (below) is not selected.
Tip: You can also set Sprint Connection Manager to start
automatically (see “Launch when Windows starts” on page 76).
These settings provide an “always-on” connection, as long as you
have network coverage.
You can have a connection established automatically, without
having to run Sprint Connection Manager. Ensure that
GO automatically when ready is not selected, and select Enable
Network Adapter (NDIS)
(below).
Enable
Network
Adapter
(NDIS)
Make a connection automatically, without running
Sprint Connection Manager—simply by starting whatever
application you want to use (such as your Web browser or
email application).
To select Enable Network Adapter (NDIS), ensure that GO
automatically when ready (above) is not selected.
Note: Sprint Location Services are available only when
Sprint Connection Manager is running.

connect to the network.
