browser, VPN, or any other program automatically, or if
your service provider specified an IP address, DNS
address(es), or Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, select
the
Advanced button to open the Advanced Profile
window. Otherwise, click
OK and skip to Step 12.
6. On the Autolaunch tab, select which application, if any,
you want Watcher to automatically launch when a
connection is established with this profile:
· None—Select this if you do not want any application to
be autolaunched.
· Browser—Select this if you want Watcher to autolaunch
your Internet browser (such as Internet Explorer or
Netscape Communicator) when a connection is estab-
lished with this profile. In the URL field, specify the web
site (such as http://www.sierrawireless.com) you want to
view on connection.
· Microsoft VPN (PPTP) Connection—Select this if you
want Watcher to autolaunch a VPN connection that you
have set up in Windows when a GPRS or EDGE
connection is established with this profile. From the
drop-down list, select the VPN connection.
· Application (VPN Client, etc...)—Select this if you want
Watcher to autolaunch an installed VPN program, or
any other program, when a GPRS or EDGE connection is
established with this profile. In the field below, enter the
path to the program, or use the
Browse button to locate
the software.
7. If your service provider has given you an IP address, on
the TCP/IP tab, select
Use static IP address and enter the
address in the field below. Otherwise select
Use dynamic IP
address
. (This is the default because most networks use
dynamic IP addressing.) Use the check boxes to enable
data compression or IP header compression if supported
by your service provider.
Note: The Use IP header compression field should NOT be checked
unless your service provider is using this compression. The AirCard
cannot maintain a connection if this is enabled but not supported on
the network.
8. If you have a DNS address or addresses, select the DNS
tab and enter the address(es). (In most cases, it is not
necessary to enter a DNS address.)
