• Click on the "Dialer" menu.
• Click on "setup.cmd".
• Enter your local access number, then click on OK.
  NOTE: If you have call waiting, enter "*70," and then the phone number (the comma is necessary). If you have a PBX, enter a "9," and then the phone number (the comma is necessary).
• Enter your username with '@primushost.com' imediately following it, then click on OK (for example, user joeuser would be entered as joeuser@primushost.com).

• Click on the "Dialer" menu, then choose "Login" (Trumpet will now dial the phone).

  NOTE: If you see a message: 'at&c1&k3 ERROR' the first time you attempt to dial in then you will have to run the "login2.cmd script" from then on by choosing "Dialer/Login2" menu.

  To do this, execute the following commands:

  1. Press the Esc key
  2. Choose the "Dialer" menu
  3. Select "Bye" to hang up the phone: wait 15 seconds for the phone to hang up
  4. Dial in again by clicking on the "Dialer" menu, then choosing "login2.cmd"
  
  
• When the connection is successful Trumpet will print:

  PPP mode selected. Will try to negotiate IP address
  Script completed
  PPP ENABLED
  My IP address = 198.115.XXX.YYY (this part does not always show)

At this point your connection is active and you can use your Internet applications (mail, Web browser, news, etc.). The final instructions below explains how to disconnect from our service.

The last step is to disconnect from the Internet by making Trumpet hang up the phone line

• Maximize Trumpet by double-clicking on the Trumpet icon at the bottom of your screen
• Select the "Dialer" menu
• Choose "Bye"
• Trumpet will now hang up the phone --- remember to wait approximately 15 seconds for Trumpet to do this
