-
- TELIX RELEASE DEPENDENCY
-
- This script will operate with TELIX 3.11 (and later
- releases of TELIX). Due to Telix Salt Script Language
- dependencies, Release 1.1 of this script WILL NOT OPERATE under
- pre-3.10 releases of Telix. It should run under 3.10 but has not
- been tested under that release.
-
-
- OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
-
- TLX_HST.SLC is intended as a configuration and setup help for the
- USR HST modem, and although it facilitates much of the modem's
- setup tasks, some knowledge of the HST's operation and
- technology is required, as well as a basic understanding of
- computer communications.
-
- If you are using TLX_HST to set up your USR Courier HST for use
- with Telix 3.11 or PCBoard 14.x, two menu options (TX and PC)
- will perform all firmware configuration, leaving physical switch
- changes up to the user (but correct switch settings are
- displayed as part of the script's operation).
-
- TLX_HST automatically detects the ROM release level of your modem.
- If your USR HST modem is at ROM level 964 or 1440 TLX_HST will allow
- you access to a second level of menu via the "AD" main menu option.
- This second menu accesses HST features only available in
- 964 & 1440-level modems, such as data compression (MNP level 5),
- settings for the new S-register 15, 4800/7200 link rate
- settings, and the new modem configuration screen. Advanced
- Functions are NOT available for ROM releases prior to 964.
-
-
- SETTING UP THE HST FOR TELIX OPERATION
-
- Although TLX_HST eases the setup tasks, it can't do it all. It is
- likely that you will need to change the modem's switches from
- their default factory settings to the setup recommended in the
- menu's TX or PC options. Unfortunately, TLX_HST can't quite
- "reach out and touch switches"; you must do this yourself. The
- script makes you aware of this requirement.
-
- Another very important part of the modem setup is the
- configuration of Telix itself. With release 3.1x of Telix,
- this is done with the ALT-O command, which updates the
- Telix configuration file. Another text file, (TLX_HSTS.DOC)
- included in this ARChive, will help you select the proper Telix
- configuration parameters for the HST modem.
-
- I recommend that you keep your HST manual handy while you
- experiment with the script. Bug reports or suggestions for
- changes or improvements should be reported to the Canada Remote
- Systems or Rose Media BBS's in Toronto.
-
-
- FRIENDLY WARNING
-
- TLX_HST can make permanent changes to the modem's internal
- configuration. Once a setting has been changed, writing the
- change to Non-Volatile RAM (NRAM) implements the change until
- that setting is changed and written to NRAM again. Changes to
- NRAM are maintained even when the modem power is OFF. If you
- have a working set of modem settings and wish to experiment, do
- not copy the changes to NRAM. The next hardware reset or
- power-off / power-on sequence will re-establish the last NRAM
- settings. A text file (TLX_HSTI.DOC) describing the HST's basic
- internal operation is included in this ARChive; you may wish to review it
- to gain a better understanding of the modem's settings.
-
-
- NRAM NOTES TO PCBOARD USERS
-
- PCBoard software insists on having total control over modem
- answer operations following RING detect. To comply with this
- requirement, TLX_HST sets the RAM value of register S0 to zero to
- disable automatic call answering. This script also indicates
- that switch 5 be left in the DOWN (ON) position, which disables
- automatic call answering and leaves this feature entirely under
- software control.
-
-
-
- SUPPORT
-
- I will attempt to correct problems with this script, as well as
- keep it current with releases of the HST's firmware and Telix
- software only as time allows. This is a personal effort which I
- am sharing, but for which I receive no remuneration (except from
- commercial users of the script). Please make no unreasonable
- demands for support, especially for things that are not broken;
- you got this for free and if it does not perform as you would
- like it to, you have a God-given right not to use it. You may
- also chose to alter the script to meet your unique requirements.
- If you do so, please do not distribute the modified version
- under its original name. You may contact me on a number of
- bulletin boards, a list of which is contained towards the end of
- the TLX_HST.1ST file included in this ARChive.
