Dial-Up Connections
These steps are required to make a dial-up connection:
1. Set up the number in the Dial-Up Manager. (This step is
only necessary the first time you dial the number.) The
Dial-Up Manager is displayed by selecting
Tools > Dial-Up
Manager , or by clicking the Dial-Up Manager button to the
right of the Connect button. See page 65 for detailed
instructions on using the Dial-Up Manager.
2. Select the connection name from the pull-down menu on
the Data tab of the main Watcher window. The number is
then displayed in the
Dial-Up # field.
Note: Changing the phone
number in the Dial-Up # field
does not change the record in
the Dial-Up Manager. (That is,
the next time you select the
connection, the phone number
will revert to the number stored
in the Dial-Up Manager.) For
instructions on changing the
record in the Dial-Up Manager,
see page 67. 3. If necessary, change the phone number in the Dial-Up #
field. (For example, depending on your location, you may
need to add or remove the area code.)
4. Click the Connect button.
Watcher then initiates the connection. Progress is shown in the
call status area. Once the connection is established, the call
statistics (duration, bytes transmitted, and bytes received) are
displayed.
To terminate a call:
1. Click the Cancel button (during the connection process) or
the Disconnect button (once the connection is established).
Incoming Data Calls
By default the AirCard is set to answer all calls as voice calls.
To receive a fax or data call, you must set the AirCard to
answer appropriately. This setting is in the Options window
(
Tools > Options ) on the General tab. See page 69 for a detailed
explanation.
