4. Installation

The software can be installed in 2 ways:

  1.  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.

  2.  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 location in Setup is the same as your
communication software.

If your communication software configuration was NOT included in this
package, you will need to set up the following the first time the
program is run.

  Required Setup
    Log file
    Connections

  Optional Setup
    File transfers
    Provider costs
    Service costs
    Preferences

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.

  A default cost configuration is provided which includes a typical long
  distance carrier and internet provider.  To use these configurations,
  link your service names (as shown in the reports) to the supplied Provider
  costs in Service costs Setup.

  The provided logging utility can be used to create detailed usage logs for
  communication programs that do not.  A default configuration is supplied
  to read the log files generated by this utility.
