Connection Options

ACM offers two easy ways to access the Internet: an AT&T mobile network
connection or a Wi-Fi connection.

Note: Data usage when connected via the AT&T mobile network is counted as part of your data
plan. Data usage when connected via a Wi-Fi network does not count as AT&T data plan use.

Connect via the AT&T mobile network

• Click the blue Connect button. Then launch your browser.

• To disconnect, click the orange Disconnect button.

• Check your data usage via the usage meter bar.

4G LTE

Your 4G LTE wireless device will display one of the following network indicators to let you
know which of AT&T’s wireless networks you are connected to. A network indicator does not
necessarily mean that you will experience any particular upload or download data speeds.
Actual speeds depend upon a variety of factors, including the device, network utilization,
file characteristics, terrain, etc. Learn more at http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/articles­resources/wireless-terms.jsp, your AT&T Wireless Customer Agreement, Section 3.2 (Where
and How Does AT&T Service Work?)

• 4G LTE: Connected to AT&T’s 4G LTE network.

• 4G: Connected to AT&T’s HSPA+ network.

AT&T’s HSPA+ network is capable of delivering 4G speeds when combined with en­hanced backhaul. Your wireless device cannot distinguish between HSPA+ cell sites
combined with enhanced backhaul and those without enhanced backhaul. Enhanced
backhaul is available in limited areas. However, availability is increasing with ongoing
backhaul deployment. Learn more at att.com/network.

• E: Connected to AT&T’s EDGE/2G network.

Connect via Wi-Fi

• Click on a Wi-Fi network in the Wi-Fi network list.

• Click the blue Connect button.

• Then launch your browser.

• To disconnect, click the orange Disconnect button.

Note: To view available Wi-Fi networks, click Refresh.

Note: Upon initial connection to the Internet, some of the software on your device may check
for updates. Operating systems, virus protection software, and other software applications
(i.e. tax software, iTunes, etc.) may request permission to get updates or connect directly to
ensure that you have the most current version on your device. Although such update checks
are intended to be helpful, the updates can involve transferring a significant amount of data
over your network connection. AT&T recommends that you control and monitor your usage to
stay within your data plan limits. For large updates, AT&T recommends that you consider using
Wi-Fi.

Manage Data Usage

• Track your data usage via the Usage Meter.

• A bar graph shows the estimated data usage within your current billing

cycle compared to your monthly data allowance.

• The number of days left in your billing cycle is also displayed.

• Select the usage details link for additional details.

4G LTE

• Use public or personal Wi-Fi® hotspots to connect.

• Unlimited data usage on the entire AT&T national Wi-Fi Hotspot network

is included with a DataConnect plan.

• “attwifi” will appear in the Wi-Fi network list when AT&T Hotspots are

available. Access includes AT&T Wi-Fi Basic, and some restrictions may
apply. For more details and locations see attwifi.com.

Note: Actual billed usage can be higher than estimated data usage displayed on the usage
meter. For example, actual billed usage may be higher when: traveling internationally or
outside AT&T’s network; using the SIM card with another device; or, using a tethered handset.
