from the Windows desktop. Check the pull-down menu for a list of the accounts currently set up on the computer.

Max sec to wait for connection:

Time, in seconds, that ClockWatch will wait to establish an Internet connection. This is the maximum time ClockWatch will wait to dial, have the ISP answer, log in and establish a connection.

Steps for using the Auto-Dial feature

1. Set up an Internet service account through Windows Dial-Up Networking (DUN). Test the account and the connection, making sure that the connection can be made without entering a password or username.

2. Open the Auto-Dial ISP screen in ClockWatch.

3. Select a DUN account from the pull down menu.

4. Test the DUN account by pressing the Dial ISP button.

5. Confirm that the account is dialed, answered, and the connection is established.  You should see the same regular Windows network connection icon (two networked computers) after the connection is established.

6. Drop the connection by pressing the Disconnect button.

7. Check the Dial ISP first to connect to the Internet option. Save the settings (press OK).

8. When ClockWatch is called to do time-synchronization, it checks if an Internet connection is established. If it is not, then it will dial the DUN network account and then make the clock setting.

Buttons:

Dial ISP - Dial the ISP selected and establish an Internet connection. Used for testing the account.

Disconnect - Disconnect the current Internet connection. Will only disconnect connections established by ClockWatch.

Get Status - Get the current status of the connection.
