Using Your Wingle 
The procedure for installing the management program depends on your computers 
operating system. The following sections are based on Windows 7. 
Connecting to a 2G/3G Network 
1.  Connect the Wingle to one of your computers USB ports.   
 
  
The installation wizard runs automatically.   
 
2.  When the installation is complete, the Wingles web management page is displayed and 
the Wingle connects to the network automatically. The Wingles web management 
page will be automatically displayed every time the Wingle is inserted into the 
computer.  
Note: 
 If the installation wizard does not run automatically, find the AutoRun.exe file in the 
driver path, and double-click the file to run it.   
 The default user name and password are admin.   If your SIM cards personal identification number (PIN) verification function is enabled, 
log in to the web management page, and enter and save the PIN. 
 If you are not using the default access point name (APN), log in to the web 
management page, and configure and save the APN settings on the dial-up settings 
tab. 
 When using the Wingle to access a 2G/3G network, do not use other devices to access 
the network, because doing so may cause conflicts. 
 If you are not connected to the network, access http://192.168.8.1 to check the device 
status. 
 If you cannot access http://192.168.8.1, disconnect other network connections, such 
as an Ethernet or Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, remove and then insert the Wingle, 
or restart the computer. 
Disconnecting from a 2G/3G Network 
Remove the Wingle from your computer.   
Note: 
 By default, the Wingle automatically disconnects from the network if no data is 
transferred within 10 minutes.   
 If you do not need to connect to the network, it is recommended that you remove the 
Wingle from your computer to reduce data traffic.   
 Disconnect the Wingles dial-up connection through its web management page or the 
Mobile Control application. Before you remove the Wingle, make sure that the dial-up 
connection has been disconnected. 
Setting Up a WiFi Connection 
1.  Ensure that the Wingles WiFi function is on. 
2.  Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > 
Connect to a network. 
Note: 
Before establishing a WiFi connection, ensure that the computer is equipped with a 
wireless network adapter. If the computer indicates a wireless network connection, the 
wireless network adapter can be used. Otherwise, verify that your wireless network 
adapter is working properly. 
3.  Select the wireless network connection with the Wingles SSID and click Connect. 
Note: 
 If a security mechanism is enabled for the wireless network connection, enter the 
correct network key.   
 The SSID and the network key are printed on the Wingle, as shown in the following
