-
- This screen controls the settings that permit WinNET Mail to
- operate your modem to communicate with the WinNET
- server (or another server if you are not using
- WinNET Communications' Internet service).
-
- The defaults will work for most modems, but please check:
-
- o Internet Service Telephone Number. If you are
- not using WinNET Communications as your Internet provider,
- you will need to change this field to the telephone number of
- your uucp provider.
-
- If you are using WinNET Communications as your provider,
- and you are calling from outside the United States, you will
- need to change this to our direct dial number.
- Please see below for more information.
-
- o Port Assignment. Is this correct for your modem?
-
- After your system is setup, you may want to re-run setup and
- increase the Interface speed if your modem and machine can
- support faster speeds.
-
- Fields:
-
- 1. Internet Service Telephone Number.
-
- [Note: if you are not using WinNET Communications' Internet
- Service, please put the telephone number of your uucp
- provider in this field]

-
- Country Code: 1, City Code: 502, phone: 589-4131
-
- 2. Interface Speed. This is the speed at which your
- computer will talk with your modem. This speed should
- be as fast as your modem will support. Please check
- your modem manual. Here are some typical speeds
- supported by modems.
-
- Modem Type Fastest Interface Speed
- 300 Baud/BPS 1200 (Should work!)
- 1200 BPS 1200
- 2400 BPS 2400
- 2400 BPS, MNP-5 4800
- 2400 BPS, v.42bis 9600
- 9600 BPS, 9600
- 9600 BPS, MNP-5 19200
- 9600 BPS, v.42bis 38400
- 14400 BPS, v.42bis 57600
- 28800 BPS v.FC 19200 * see note in node.txt
- 28800 BPS v.34 115200
- ISDN 115200 * see note in node.txt
-
- 3. Port Assignment. Choose the Communication (COM) port
- that your modem uses: COM 1, 2, 3, or 4.
-
- If you are not sure, it is best to exit WinNET setup and
- use the Windows Terminal program to test different ports.
- From the Terminal program select menu "Setup", sub menu
- "Communications...". "Connector" is the COM port.
- "Baud Rate" corresponds to Interface speed for WinNET.
- When you have set up Terminal correctly, you should be
- able to type "AT" followed by Enter on the main
- Terminal screen and get back "OK" from the modem.
-
- 4. Packet Window Size. Normally, the default (5)
- setting is OK for this. Higher settings will tend to
- improve performance where there are good quality phone
- connections or you are using error correcting modems.
- Lower settings are better when there are noisier line
- conditions.
-
- 5. Set Factory Default AT Command. This is the modem
- command to reset your modem. The default, ATZ, will
- work for most modems setting the modem to either the
- factory defaults or to the user saved profile. On many
- modems, AT&F, will set the modem to factory defaults.
-
- 6. Modem Setup AT Command. These commands initialize your
- modem with important settings for WinNET. You must use
- either the:
-
- V1 - English result codes, or
- V0 - Numeric result codes
-
- in this command. You may also want to turn off the
- speaker by changing the default M1 command to M0.
-
- 7. CPU Utilization. Lower settings cause WinNET to be
- more cooperative in sharing computing resources with
- other applications. A higher setting can improve
- performance somewhat.
-
- 8. Dialing. If you phone system does not support
- Touch-Tone dialing, select Pulse (rotary).
