Create a profile

Watcher includes pre-defined profiles for many different carriers. You should

normally use one of these profiles, but if your carrier asks you to create one,

follow these instructions.

Your carrier can give you all the information you need to set up the profile(s) you

require. Depending on your carrier, you may need to enter some or all of the

following information into your profile:

• User name

• Password

• APN (Access Point Name)

• DNS (Domain Name Server) address or addresses

To create a profile:

1. Ensure that you are not connected to the network.

2. Select

AirCard Watcher > Preferences... > Profiles.

3. Click the add button (+).

4. Select your carrier from the list.

5. If you have been given specific values for any of the following fields, enter

them now:

· Profile Name (any meaningful description of the profile, such as the name

of your carrier)

· User Name, if applicable

· Password, if applicable

· APN

(Check with your carrier for specific requirements for the user name and pass-

word.)

6. Select the connection type:

Manual—You click the Connect button on the main Watcher window to

make a connection (default setting).

Prompt for Password—When you click the Connect button, you are prompted

to enter a password.

Autoconnect—A connection is established automatically when you insert the

modem, provided this is your default profile.

7. If you have a DNS address or addresses, enter the address(es). (In most

cases, it is not necessary to enter a DNS address.)

8. If you have more than one profile, in the Default Profile field, select a default

profile. The default profile is used if you click

Connect without selecting a

profile.

9. Click

Apply.

Edit a profile

To edit a profile:

1. Ensure that you are not connected to the network.

2. Select

AirCard Watcher > Preferences... > Profiles.
