This tab has three radio buttons at the top. Depending on which is selected, the bottom portion of the form will show different information to be setup. These settings allow GetRight to connect to the Internet to start a scheduled download, or to disconnect from the Internet when it has completed downloading files.
Always connected to Internet (or do not try to connect.):
| • | Use this option if either you have a full time connection to the Internet, or you do not want GetRight to try and connect to the Internet itself. |
Connect using Windows Dial-Up Networking:
Plays sound "Dialer Connected" when the dialer connects to Internet.
Plays sound "Dialer Did Not Connect" when the dialer did not connect.
| · | Dial-Up connection(s) to use: Use this list to select one or more existing Windows Dial-Up Networking options. When dialing, GetRight will try all the different dialer items in sequence until it connects or reaches your limit for the number of retries. The ability to select several is very useful if your Internet Service Provider has different phone numbers you can dial. This will allow GetRIght to dial different phone numbers each time it tries. |
NOTE: All options must share the same username and passwords. Up to 10 different items may be selected at once, if more than 10 are selected, only the top 10 will be saved when you click OK for the configuration window.
NOTE2: The special value "(GetRight Should Never Dial)" is used to indicate that you use Windows Dial-Up Networking (so that GetRight can hang up the modem when done, or do scheduled hang ups) but that GetRight should not dial itself--you should select this option if you use some other redialing program instead of GetRight. When this item is selected, GetRight will not try to dial--even if other items are also selected in the list! Also, Scheduled downloading may not function correctly if you have "(GetRight Should Never Dial)" selected and you are not connected to the Internet at the time the scheduled download starts.
| · | Advanced Button: When pressed, this brings up an additional window so you can set different login or proxy settings for each connection. The Proxy options are the same as those explained on the Proxy configuration item. More |
| · | Username and Password: Enter the username and password needed to log into your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you leave these fields blank, you will be prompted when GetRight dials to make the connection. If you are using the scheduling features, you will need to enter the username and password so GetRight can connect when you are not sitting at your computer. |
| · | Redial if the line is busy: Pretty self explanatory. If the line is busy or other dialer errors occur, GetRight will redial. |
| · | Reestablish Connection window title: This is the window title for the window that appears when the Windows Dial-Up Networking is disconnected (such as by unplugging the phone line from the wall.) The default will be correct for English versions of windows, but will need to be changed for non-English versions. |
This text must be correct so that GetRight can close that window an free up the modem--otherwise you'll get "Device in Use" error messages when GetRight tries to redial.
Connect using Other Dial-Up Networking software:
This lets you setup other Internet dialing software which use different methods to dial or hangup the modem. If it is not one of the pre-defined items under the "Others" button, this will take more knowledge for you to setup. Even when other dialing software is setup correctly in GetRight, GetRight's "re-dialing if you are disconnected" feature will not work--but all other GetRight dialing features will work.
Others: This button will show a menu of other Internet dialing software that have been pre-defined with settings for GetRight. Select the item from the menu to fill in the settings for that Internet dialing software.
America Online: While GetRight can make America Online dial, hang-up, etc, it does not work nearly as well as when you are using Windows Dial-Up Networking. For example, extra message windows from America Online (such as special offers you are shown when you login) can cause GetRight to not detect that AOL has dialed and connected OK.
It is possible the settings will not be correct for all versions of AOL, or other language or country versions of the Internet software (for example, the "America Online" item has been tested with the US version of AOL 4.0 and 3.0, but not other country's versions of AOL).
NetZero: You must have setup your member ID and password in NetZero, and checked the item about "Remember my member ID and password the next time I connect".
| • | Internet connection window title contains the text: This must be a string of text that is in the window title that should only appear in the title of your other networking software. "XYZ Connected to Internet" would be a good entry, while "in" would not. This is used to tell when the other software has finished connecting, and to find which window needs to be closed to hang up (if setup below.) |
| • | Connect if needed; to connect, run the command/script: Check this box to have GetRight run your other network software to start a connection. You must enter or select the correct command in the box below. |
| • | To disconnect from the Internet |
• Close the Internet connection window to disconnect: This option will close the window containing the text setup above when it is time for GetRight to disconnect.
• Run the command/script to disconnect: You must enter or select the correct command in the box below.
Other options:
| • | Always start automatic downloading when connected: Whenever your computer connects to the Internet, GetRight will start "Automatic" downloading. This would be useful if you want to keep downloading parts of a file whenever you are connected to the Internet. |
Plays sound "Dialer Connected; Downloading" when this is triggered.
NOTE1: This is available when you are using any network connection software, but it generally works better if you are using Windows Dial-Up Networking. Depending on the network connection software you use, it is possible that GetRight checking to see if you are connected could cause your modem to dial. When you are not connected to the Internet, click the "Test" button to see if this causes your modem to dial. If your modem dials, don't turn on this item.
WHY: [If you want to know why: If you aren't using Windows Dial-Up Networking, GetRight tries pinging your proxy server (if you have one) or one of the servers that has files to download--if it responds, GetRight assumes you must be connected to the Internet. This method should work with any Winsock even without you setting up other things--so it will work for "Basic Mode" users too. But some Winsocks detect when you try to connect and will dial your modem automatically.]
NOTE2: This will start GetRight's Automatic downloading even if GetRight is not the program that dialed the Internet. This is good for the person whose files are being downloaded, but could be annoying for other people who share the computer because GetRight will start downloading no matter what program you use to dial.
WARNING: Be careful when using this setting with the Redial if Disconnected option on the Download Status window turned on. If both these are set, when someone dials (using any dialing program) GetRight ArialArialwill redial and continue downloading after they hang up (even if they hang up normally). You might want to use the "(GetRight Should Never Dial)" in the Dial-Up connection to use above if you use another dialing program that will redial by itself.
