Qualcomm 4.3 Defining a Login Script, Here is a sample login script for an Annex terminal server

Eudora User Manual Defining a Login Script

5Click Next to display the Modem or Adapter page.

6Select your modem from the list, then click Next to display the Phone Number page.

7In the edit box, enter the primary phone number for your Internet Service Provider. If your provider has alternate phone numbers, click the Alternates… button and enter the alternate phone numbers. Click Next to display the Serial Line Protocol page.

8Select PPP or SLIP as appropriate to your Internet Service Provider (most providers now support PPP), then click Next to display the Login Script page.

9When initially testing dialup connections to your Internet Service Provider, we recom- mend that you select the Display a terminal window option. Once you can manually establish a dialup connection, you can then automate the dialup connection with a login script (see “Defining a Login Script” later for details). Click Next to display the IP Address page.

10If your ISP has assigned you a specific (static) IP address, then enter that address in the field. Otherwise, if your provider assigns IP addresses dynamically via DHCP, then keep the default Server assigned IP address setting. Click Next to display the Name Server Addresses page.

11If your ISP supports DHCP, then the name server addresses will automatically be configured by DHCP and you should leave the default addresses of 0.0.0.0. Otherwise, enter the server addresses assigned by your Internet Service Provider. Click Next to display the final page of the Phonebook Wizard.

12Click Finish to create your new Phonebook entry.

13Back in the Dialup Networking tool, select your new Phonebook entry in the drop-down list, then click Dial to dial your Internet Service Provider. Your modem should immedi- ately dial the phone number defined in your Phonebook entry.

14Once your modem negotiates the connection with the remote system, you typically then have to “log in” to that remote system by entering the username and password assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider. Some systems require that you first press Enter to display a login prompt, then enter the username and password. In any event, once you are “logged on” (authenticated), some providers automatically start your SLIP or PPP session, while others require that you take an extra step, such as typing ppp, to initiate a PPP session. Carefully note the exact steps you must take in order to manually log in and establish a SLIP/PPP session: you will need this informa- tion in order to automate the login process, as described in “Defining a Login Script.”

Defining a Login Script

Here is a sample login script for an Annex terminal server:

proc main transmit "^M"

waitfor "Annex username:" until 30 if FALSE == $SUCCESS then

goto Failure

endif

transmit $USERID + "^M"

waitfor "Annex password:" until 30 if FALSE == $SUCCESS then
