In this screen you can configure your connection to the Babylon Server and enable the Babylon-Pro Auto-Update feature.
Internet connection type - Choose the type of internet connection for online searches, glossary updates, conversion rates and software upgrades of Babylon-Pro:
Dial-up service (modem) - If you are connecting using a telephone line connection to an ISP.
Network connection (LAN) - If you are connecting through a local network, in an office, company or other internal environments.
Proxy Setting: (Applicable only when using a proxy server or a firewall to connect to the internet)
Use automatic proxy settings - When you first try to connect to the Babylon Server, Babylon-Pro will attempt to read your connection settings from your web browser, so that you will not need to configure your settings manually.
Connect through Proxy/Firewall server - This option lets you configure the server address and port you will use for communicating with Babylon online. Babylon-Pro uses the standard HTTP port (80) to connect to our servers, and there is no need to enable other ports on your server.
Remember password for authentication proxy - Check this option if your proxy servers require entering a username and password when connecting.
Glossary updates:
Please note: These options are relevant only to glossary updates. Whenever you connect to the internet, Babylon-Pro also checks for new version upgrades and updated currency rates, even when these options are not active.
Enable online updates - This option enables the Babylon-Pro Auto-Update feature. Whenever you connect to the web, Babylon-Pro will automatically check for glossary updates. This option regards only glossary and dictionary updates.
Update automatically - Checking this option
will download and install available glossary and dictionary updates, as
soon as they become available from Babylon servers. If you do not enable
this option, Babylon-Pro will alert you when there are available updates
with a blinking icon in your system tray. You will be able to download
those updates by double clicking on the blinking icon.
This option is available only after checking the æEnable online updatesÆ
option.
