Some ODBC applications display a Logon dialog box when you are connecting to a data source. In these cases, the data source name has already been specified.

Figure 1. Logon to Sybase Dialog Box

The Logon to Sybase Wire Protocol dialog box

In the Logon dialog box, provide the following information:

  1. In the Network Address field, specify an IP address for the Sybase server as follows: IP address,port_number. For example, you might enter 199.226.224.34,5000. If your network supports named servers, you can specify an address as: servername,port_number. For example, you might enter Sybaseserver,5000.

    The IP address can be specified in either IPv4 or IPv6 format, or a combination of the two. See Using IP Addresses for details concerning these formats.

  2. If required, type your case-sensitive login ID.
  3. If required, type your case-sensitive password for the system.
  4. In the Database field, type the name of the database you want to access (case-sensitive). Or, select the name from the Database drop-down list, which displays the names that you specified on the Connection tab of the ODBC Sybase Wire Protocol driver Setup dialog box.
    Note: If you are connecting through the Test Connect button of the Setup dialog box, only the default database specified on the General tab of the Setup dialog box is available in the Database drop-down list. The database names specified on the Connection tab are not available.
  5. Click OK to complete the logon and to update the values in the Registry.
