Figure 104: TCP/IP Settings – uncheck the Use Default Gateway option
Check the settings against those shown in Figure 95. In particular, the Use default gateway option should be
disabled. If this is not done then Windows will attempt to use the PPP connection as its default Internet
connection, the end result being that the Internet will not be accessible from your computer while a PPP
connection to the DT80 is in progress. (If your computer does not have an Internet connection then this step can
be ignored.)
7. Press OK to close the various "properties" dialogs, and return to the Connect dialog (Figure 101). You can now
try establishing a PPP connection, see Using PPP (P253).
4b. PPP Network – Modem Connection
This section describes the process of defining a Windows "network connection" when using a modem connection. It is
assumed that an appropriate "modem device" has already been installed, as described in
Install the Windows Modem
Device (P247).
The following is applicable to Windows XP
1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then Network Connections. This will display a list of currently
defined network connections (if any).
2. Select the New Connection Wizard, or the Create a new connection task. This will start the Network
Connection Wizard.
3. Select Connect to the Internet.
4. Select Set up my connection manually.
5. Select Connect using a dial-up modem.
6. When prompted for an "ISP Name", enter a name for the connection, e.g. "DT80 modem ppp"
7. Select which modem you wish to use. If you only have one modem connected then this step will be skipped.
8. Enter the phone number for dialing in to the DT80 modem.
9. Specify whether you want the connection to be available just for your Windows user name, or for anyone who
uses the computer.
10. Enter the username and password specified in the DT80 profile (by default DATATAKER and DATATAKER,
note these are case sensitive).
Uncheck the Use this account when anyone connects to the Internet option.
Uncheck the Make this the default internet connection option.
11. The wizard will now display the Connect dialog. (Figure 101; you will see this dialog each time you establish a
PPP connection to the logger.) Press Cancel for now. A few more options should be set before connecting, as
detailed below.
The following is applicable to Windows Vista/Windows 7
1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then Network and Sharing Center.
2. Select Setup a new connection or network. This will start the Network Connection Wizard.
