Entering a Dial Script

For modem connections, a dial script makes connecting to the Internet quicker and easier. It is a collection of prompts that you get from your Internet Service Provider and the responses that you enter. When the dial script runs, it automatically enters these responses for you. Therefore we recommend that you create a dial script so that you do not have to type in your details each time you connect.

For example, in most cases, you are prompted to enter a password. In the dial script, you would enter the exact wording of the prompt such as "password:" and then your password. When you connect, the script is played automatically entering your password and the connection made.

To enter a dial script, do the following:

1.  Click the Setup icon in DR-WebSpyder.

The DR-WebSpyder Setup menu is displayed.

2.

Click the Internet Settings button.

The Internet Settings Wizard starts which guides you through the information that you can change.

3.

If you have not done so already, enter the Username, Password and Telephone number supplied by your ISP. Then click the Use a Dial Script checkbox.
You can enter the filename of a new or existing script file in the text box provided. You can use MS Windows 95 script files.

4.

Click the Next button.

Your dialer settings are saved and the Dial Script page is opened.

5.

If you specified a script file that already existed, the script file and its contents will be displayed. If no script file was specified or a new filename was entered, the script page will be blank ready for you to enter your new scripts as appropriate.

6.

Click the Finish button.

Your dial script entries are saved and you are returned to the DR-WebSpyder Setup Menu.

7.

Click the Browse button to return to the browser.


When you next connect to the Internet, the script is played automatically. You do not need to enter any details as the connection is made.
