IP address
Everyone who logs on to the Internet needs to have a unique identifier (an IP address), whether
permanent or temporary. Some networks dynamically assign a temporary IP address when clients
log in. The IP Address field lets you identify whether your network provides automatic (dynamic)
temporary IP addressing.
Note: Most Internet Service Providers automatically assign IP addresses. Leave the Automatic
IP Address option checked unless you are certain you need to manually enter IP address
information.
To identify dynamic IP addressing:
■ Tap the IP Address check box to select it.
To enter a permanent IP address:
1. Tap the IP Address check box to deselect it and display a permanent IP address field below
the check box.
2. Tap the space to the left of the first period then enter the first section of the IP address.
Note: Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.
3. Tap and enter the remaining sections of the IP address.
4. Hold Option and press Return to finish.
Creating a login script
A login script is a series of commands, similar to an autoexec.bat file, that automates logging into
your ISP. You can create login script files by selecting commands from the Command pick list in
the Login Script dialog. Some commands from the Command pick list, such as Send, require you
to supply additional information. Those commands have a parameter field so that you can add the
necessary data.
Note: You can also use non-ASCII and literal characters in your login script. See Appendix C
for more information.
To create a login script:
1. Tap Script.
2. Tap the End pick list.
