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
reverts to the number stored in
the Dial-Up Manager.) For
instructions on changing the
record in the Dial-Up Manager,
see page 144. 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. Tap 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. Tap 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 149 for a detailed
explanation.
To terminate an incoming call:
1. Tap the Cancel button (during the connection process) or
the Disconnect button (once the connection is established).
Quick 2 Net Connections
The Quick 2 Net connection is set up for you when Watcher is
installed. All you need to do to make a Quick 2 Net connection
is:
1. Select Quick 2 Net from the drop-down menu on the Data
tab of the main Watcher window.
2. Tap the Connect button.
Once connected you can use any Internet application (such as
Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or your e-mail appli-
cation).
To terminate a Quick 2 Net connection:
1. Tap the Cancel button (during the connection process) or
the Disconnect button (once the connection is established).
