Audrey will attempt
to dial out to your ISP.
If Audrey has successfully connected
to your ISP, you will see the “set date
and time” screen. Audrey will
download the correct time from the
Internet. However, this time may not
be correct for your time zone. Make
any necessary changes on this screen.
Tap “done” to continue. Next, a dialog
box announcing that your Channels are
being updated appears. (Audrey sets
up a default download schedule to
update your Channels, check for
e-mail, and update the time. You can
learn how to modify this schedule
using the Actions Palette on
page 41
.)
Although there is a “cancel” button on
this dialog box, we recommend that
you allow Audrey to update your
Channels now so that they work faster
when you access them later. To learn
more about how to use Audrey’s con-
trols and personalize them for your
family, turn to
page 17.

Do you need to dial
any extra numbers?
Your phone service may require you
to dial extra digits before dialing out
to your ISP. Buttons are provided for
“9,” to access outside lines, and
“*70,” to disable call waiting. These
are commonly required digits for
Internet dialing. Tap either button
if it applies. If you need to enter
additional digits, tap inside the text
field, type the digits, and then tap
“continue” to move on.

Enter the dial-up
number for your ISP.
Tap inside the first of three text fields
to make the cursor appear, then type
the phone number you use to dial
your ISP, using the TAB key to move
between fields. Next, tap one of the
two buttons under “ISP account
type:,” “PPP” or “assigned/static IP”.
This tells Audrey what type of Internet
access account you have.

If you have an “assigned/
Static IP”account,
enter your assigned IP address,
ISP subnet mask, gateway, primary
DNS and secondary DNS settings.
If you have a
“PPP” account,
skip to
step 3
.
“I already have a dial-up Internet access account.”
ISPs that use “PPP” accounts
assign random and unique
IP addresses to your computer
with every connection.
However, some ISPs assign
a static IP address to your
computer that never changes.
You will need the following
information in order to connect
to an Audrey-compatible
custom ISP.
You can obtain this
information by either calling your
ISP or copying it from the TCP/IP
settings used by the computer that
you normally use to connect to the
Internet. Write this information in
the blanks provided below. You will
need it later.
