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 72.

If you also use the AirCard 300 with your computer, eject the AirCard 300 before you use the AirCard 555. Under some operating systems, if both AirCards are inserted, then the path that the IP (Internet Protocol) traffic will take is not predictable. If the data gets routed through the AirCard 300, you will experience slower data transfer rates.

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 71 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.

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.

During dial-up data connections, the In Use indicator is a modem.
