Using the Address Books
An address book is a collection of saved addresses to which you can quickly es-
tablish a Timbuktu Pro connection. Once you have added an address to your ad-
dress book, you don't have to re-enter the address each time you connect to that
remote user.
You can add and delete addresses at any time, and you can have multiple ad-
dress books to group addresses into convenient clusters: for example, business
contacts, friends, and family.
The Address Books tab in the New Connection window allows you to view the con-
tents of your address books and connect to the computers you have saved.
Each address-book entry includes
•
A name for the contact
•
An indicator whether the remote computer’s contact information is saved
as a TCP/IP address or Skype name, or if it is a direct-dial connection
•
The remote computer’s IP address, Skype name, or dialing information
•
For TCP/IP and Skype contacts, the remote computer’s machine name
To open an address book, double-click it on the Address Books tab in the New
Connection window. Address books are also listed in the File menu. Choose the
name of the address book from the File menu to open it.
