the base station.

minute of step 5, repeat steps 4 through 8.

4.1.1.5 Login Scripts
Login scripts search for particular text strings in a certain
order. When the dialer finds the string it is looking for, it
replies with the designated text string. These scripts are
created and edited in the Internet Dial-up Connector util-
ity, in the ISP Setup window (see 4.1.1.4 "Adding a New
Dial-up Account"), on a WebPAD 1.5 system that contains
a DECT base station. In the ISP setup window, select
either an existing script or enter a new script name, then
touch the “Edit Script...” button to open the Script Editor
window.
Each step shown in the window is processed in sequence,
starting at the top. Each line is composed of three parts:
what to wait for, what to reply with, and what status is to
be posted. On the right side of the window are buttons to
insert steps or modify/remove the currently selected line.
Three boxes at the bottom of the window are used to edit
the settings of the currently selected line.
To modify a line, select it. The contents of the line are then
shown in the boxes at the bottom. Modify any or all of the
selected line. After completing the modifications, touch
the “Modify” button to save the changes.
