Login Scripts for COM Port

Script Function

This feature allows you to specify the various instructions and steps when you are trying to establish a connection with ISP. These commands are only required when you login to a non-standard ISP to negotiate your own login processes. The format for the prompt string is as such: Command "String", Wait Time

Command Two commands can be used, either to wait for a ISP prompt or to send a prompt to ISP.

"String" would be in an actual word that is prompted by the ISP or send by you.

Wait Time is the allowable wait time for an instruction in seconds, before the Router does the next process.

For example: wait "Username", 10 means telling the Router to wait for 10 seconds for ISP to prompt something that contains the string "Username" before it does something else.
