Installation The software can be installed in 2 ways: - The easiest way is to run the INSTALL program from the directory where it is located. This will create a directory on your hard disk, copy all necessary files and selected configurations and create a desktop icon object if desired. - A manual installation can also be done as long as all files required for program operation detailed above are present and located in the same directory. 5. Getting started If your communication software configuration was INCLUDED in this package: - Be sure the LOG FILE in SETUP is the same as your communication software program. If your software configuration was NOT included in this package, you will need to initially set up the following for each of your communication programs not included: - Required SETUP - LOG FILE - CONNECTIONS - Optional SETUP - FILE TRANSFERS If you wish to track costs: - Edit PROVIDER COSTS to reflect your providers. - Add the services you wish to track costs for in SERVICE PROVIDERS. Notes: - Be sure logging is turned ON in your communication software options or setup. - When using different versions of communication programs, the format of the usage log file MAY change between versions resulting in inaccurate reports. This problem can be overcome by inspecting the log file with a text editor and splitting the log file into seperate files at the point where the format changes. Configurations can then be set up for each file. - The provided logging utility, InfoLog, can be used to create usage logs for communication programs that do not. The default configuration template INFOLOG.CFG can be used to read the log files generated by this utility. 6.
