DIAL-OUT MODEM COMMUNICATION
Use the following procedure to perform Dial-out modem
communication using MSHELL.EXE:
1.
IMPORTANT:
The modem must be connected to a serial
port on the Print Server Plus with a Virtual setting of modem
(see
Section 7.6.5.1
). See
Appendix A
for the
recommended modular adapter and cable pinouts. Any user
on the network that will need to use the modem for dial-out
communication must have Virtual Access enabled (see
Section 7.6.5.5
). Your network communications program
must support EXTENDED BIOS 14 calls in order to work
with the Print Server Plus (e.g., Procomm Plus for networks
or Mirror III LAN).
2. Copy MSHELL.EXE, MOPEN.EXE, MCLOSE.EXE, and
DIAL.EXE to the subdirectory where your network
communications software is located or to a directory that is
in the PATH (e.g., F:\PUBLIC).
3. Load MSHELL.EXE by typing
MSHELL
from the
subdirectory prompt.
MSHELL will generate messages from the DOS prompt
when first loaded to inform you that it has been successfully
loaded and that it is already loaded in the event you try to
load MSHELL again.
NOTE:
You may unload MSHELL by typing
MSHELL U
from the prompt. MSHELL will generate a message to
inform you that it has been unloaded from memory. You
may obtain a readout of the available MSHELL parameters
by typing
MSHELL ?
from the appropriate prompt.
