- Installation and Usage
- ----------------------
-
- 1) Select the TICK icon from Start - Programs - TICK (or where you opted to
- install).
-
- 2) A yellow telephone icon will be added to your notification area (near
- the clock). Right clicking on this icon will display the main
- configuration menu. It is strongly recommend you uninstall/remove any
- existing dial up enhancers to avoid any possible conflicts.
-
- 2) The Options menu allows you to configure TICK. You can set how TICK
- will look, your current call charges, applications to be run at connection
- and disconnection and your auto window settings. Click the OK button to
- save your settings. If you wish to ignore any changes made click the
- CANCEL button. TICK defaults all options to a setting which should be
- compatible for most (if not all) machines. Before changing any options
- I suggest you ensure that TICK is running and connected to the Internet.
- (see point 3). You can then see how TICK works and to what the options
- relate to.
-
- 3) Connect to the internet using a standard Dial Up Networking connectoid.
- After the connectoid has dialed and carried out the initial handshaking
- TICK will display/update a digital display with general details about
- your call, for example, total time connected, total cost of call, data
- transferred and current data transfer rate. When you disconnect from the
- internet your call log will be updated with the full details of the current
- session.
-
- 4) The Logs menu displays how much time you have spent connected to the internet,
- a running cost and projections of your calls, data transferred and other
- general statistics about your call. A summary of the popup windows
- automatically closed by the auto window facilities is also given.
-
- 5) The Tools menu gives you access to common internet utilities and to Web
- Notification. Web Notification allows you to check all your sites in
- your favourites folder for updates.
-
- 6) Help is available by selecting "Help" from the TICK tray icon menu or by
- pressing F1 on any configuration screen.
