4. Installation
The software can be installed in 2 ways:
- The easiest way is to run the INSTALL program from the directory
where it is located. This will create a directory on your hard
disk, copy all necessary files and selected configurations and
create a desktop icon object if desired.
- A manual installation can also be done as long as all files
required for program operation detailed above are present and
located in the same directory.
5. Getting started
If your communication software configuration was INCLUDED in this
package:
- Be sure the LOG FILE in SETUP is the same as your communication
software program.
If your software configuration was NOT included in this package, you
will need to initially set up the following for each of your
communication programs not included:
- Required SETUP
- LOG FILE
- CONNECTIONS
- Optional SETUP
- FILE TRANSFERS
If you wish to track costs:
- Edit PROVIDER COSTS to reflect your providers.
- Add the services you wish to track costs for in SERVICE PROVIDERS.
Notes:
- Be sure logging is turned ON in your communication software options or
setup.
- When using different versions of communication programs, the format
of the usage log file MAY change between versions resulting in inaccurate
reports. This problem can be overcome by inspecting the log file with a
text editor and splitting the log file into seperate files at the point
where the format changes. Configurations can then be set up for each file.
- The provided logging utility, InfoLog, can be used to create usage logs for
communication programs that do not. The default configuration template
INFOLOG.CFG can be used to read the log files generated by this utility.
