How do I configure the IU PPP Wizard to use a calling card?

Many faculty and staff members are issued calling cards to connect to the Indiana University computing environment. These calling cards are simpler to bill than the long distance charges associated with normal calling. The IU PPP Wizard, distributed through IUware, has the ability to use a calling card number in dialing the IU servers.

To configure the Wizard to use a calling card:

1. Double-click the Connect to IU icon.
   
   
2. Click either Settings or Properties (depending upon your particular configuration).
   
   
3. Click Dialing Properties or Dialing Rules.
   
   Note: If for some reason the Dialing Properties or Dialing Rules button is not available (i.e., it is grayed out), click Phone Book and make sure you have selected the correct phone number. If that doesn't help, go to the Modem control panel, click Dialing Properties, and make sure the area code is correct for your current location.
   
   
4. Check the box next to For long distance calls, use this calling card: .
   
   
5. You must now create a new calling card entry. To do this, click Calling Card.
   
   
6. In the Calling Card window, click New. Enter a name for your calling card entry and click OK. Next, click the drop-down menu to the left of the New button, and select the entry you just created.
   
   
7. Enter your PIN and access numbers in the appropriate spaces. If you do not know these numbers, contact your department's local support provider or the person who issued the calling card.
   
   
8. If your calling card requires a specific sequence, click Long Distance or International and enter the sequences. If you do not know these sequences, contact your department's local support provider or the person who issued the calling card.
   
   
9. Click OK. Select your new calling card entry from the drop-down menu to the left of the Calling Card button. Click OK and test the entry.

Calling card configuration can be complex. You may require the assistance of your department's local support provider to configure some settings.
