Q:I don’t have enough space to fit another USB product in my computer. What are my options?

A:You have a couple of options, depending on your problem.

1)If the problem is due to the fact that the device is too wide, causing it to cover up the surrounding USB ports on the computer, use the USB cable and notebook clip holder accessory pair that was included in the product packaging.

2)If you do not have enough USB ports to accommodate a new USB product, consider investing in a USB hub. USB hubs are external devices that allow many USB devices to be connected to a single USB port on the host computer or another hub. They can be purchased from any electronics store.

Q: Is it possible to use an external antenna with the Ovation U727?

A:Yes, although it is not necessary on a day-to-day basis for mobile professionals. To connect an external antenna to the Ovation U727, an antenna adapter cable is required. The antenna cable connects directly into the Ovation U727 via the antenna connector located under the rubber cap on the left-side of the device while the antenna requires a SMA male connector.

Q:How will the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection affect the data transfer speed of the Novatel Wireless Ovation U727?

A:Since a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection increases the amount of data being transferred for security purposes; the average data transfer speed will be reduced by its use. The amount of degradation in the data transfer speed will depend upon the level of security/encryption in place and may be reduced by consulting the IT administrator in charge of your VPN.

Q:If I lose coverage or remove the Ovation U727 during a file download, will the download resume when the card is inserted and within CDMA coverage again?

A:No. You will need to re-establish a connection to the network and restart the file download. Some third party applications provide the capability of continuing a file transfer after a call drop.
