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

Many faculty and staff members are issued calling cards to use 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, which is distributed through IUware, has the ability to use a calling card number to dial up to the IU servers.

To configure the Wizard to use a calling card:

1. Double-click the Connect to IU icon.
   
   
2. Click either the Settings or the Properties button (depending upon your particular configuration).
   
   
3. Click the Dialing Properties or the Dialing Rules button.
   
   Note: If for some reason the Dialing Properties or Dialing Rules button is not available (i.e., it is grayed out), click the Phone Book button and make sure you have selected the correct phone number. If that doesn't help, go to the Modem control panel, click the Dialing Properties button, and make sure the area code is correct for your current location.
   
   
4. Click the checkbox 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.
