iPass Dial Wizard for Macintosh
iPassConnect for Windows
System Requirements
iPassConnect requires Dial-Up Networking
and Dial-Up Scripting. Note that Windows 4.0 NT Dial-Up Networking
has a different user interface than the Dial-Up Networking
on Windows 95. There is no Dial-Up Networking folder in which
connection icons (connectoids) can be created and displayed.
Instead, desktop shortcuts for each dial-up connection can
be created.
Setup Information for Windows NT Workstation
4.0
iPassConnect runs on top of the existing
Dial-Up Networking (DUN) system component. A properly installed
and configured Dial-Up Networking component is required for
iPassConnect to operate successfully.

System Requirements
The iPass Dial Wizard for Macintosh requires
Open Transport and Open Transport/PPP (OT and OT/PPP). If
you are using another TCP/IP stack or PPP implementation,
you will be unable to use the iPass Dial Wizard. Both OT and
OT/PPP can be obtained from Apple check http://www.apple.com/macos/opentransport/
for details.
It is highly recommended that you run System
7.5.3 or newer to support OT and OT/PPP. Please check the
Apple web site listed above in order to determine the exact
requirements for your specific system.
To determine your System Software version,
go to the Finder, select "About this Macintosh..." or "About
this Computer..." from the Apple (•) menu. The dialog
will tell you what version of System Software you are running.
You can look in your Control Panels folder
to see if you are running OT. Your Control Panels folder is
inside your System Folder. If there is a Control Panel called
TCP/IP, you are running OT. If there is a Control Panel called
MacTCP, you are running the older MacTCP and will need to
upgrade to OT.
You can determine if you have OT/PPP installed
the same way as checking for OT. Check your Control Panels
folder. If there is a control panel called PPP, you have OT/PPP
installed. If not, you will need to install OT/PPP.
To determine the version of OT and OT/PPP
you are running, open the TCP/IP control panel and select
"Get Info" from the File menu. The dialog will tell you the
version of OT and the version of OT/PPP that you are running.

Installation Instructions
The file will download as a binhex file.
You can use "StuffIt Expander" to extract the file into a
self-extracting archive. Double click on this archive and
you will get a folder called iPass Dial Wizard.
To run the iPass Dial Wizard, you must make
sure that the application, the file "POP Database," and the
folder "Scripts" are all located in the same folder. If they
are not, delete all the files and extract them again. If the
files are still incomplete, please contact your ISP for assistance.
Now open the TCP/IP control panel. Make
sure that you have changed "Connect via:" to PPP. Also, make
sure that you have provided Domain Name Service (DNS) entry.
If you do not have one, ask your ISP for one. Ensure that
the DNS entry that you are given is accessible from outside
any firewalls that might be in place.
Please note that the iPass Dial Wizard does
not negotiate DNS settings. It is assumed that your modem
is properly configured through the Modem Control Panel and
that you were able to make a successful connection to the
Internet prior to the Dial Wizard Installation. Now that you
have the Dial Wizard installed, try to make a connection to
a local iPass number to ensure that you are set up successfully.
It is much easier, and less expensive, to get support from
your ISP while you are still at home.
Using the iPass Dial Wizard
The iPass Dial Wizard is easy to use. Simply
run the program from the Dial Wizard folder and follow the
prompts as provided. In no time, you will easily be able to
connect to the Internet, with a local phone call, while traveling
throughout the world.
If you need the memory that is being used
by the iPass Dial Wizard, you can always quit the program
after you have established a connection. To hang up, just
restart the program and click "Hang Up."
Troubleshooting
If you have problems, please check the following:
- Your modem is connected and plugged in.
- The phone line is connected to your modem.
- You have selected PPP from the TCP/IP
control panel.
- You have enough memory. You should have
at least one and a half megabytes (1.5MB) of free RAM in
order to run the iPass Dial Wizard and establish a PPP connection.
- OT/PPP does not correctly negotiate DNS.
See the discussion in "Installation Instructions" for a
description of how to address this problem.

problem, please contact us for technical support.
