- ACCESS SERVER and MODEMS
-
- Access Server supports asynchronous transmission speeds up to 19.2 Kbps
- using dial-up modems such as the Hayes Smartmodem and modems with error
- correction, data compression and/or V.32 capabilities. A list of certified
- and recommended modems is included in this document. Error correcting
- modems are strongly recommended.
-
- For the best Access Server/modem relationship it is recommended that you
- have the most recent version of Access Server and the most up to date PTF
- (at the moment version 1.01 and PTF 238)
-
- The Access Server and ONLAN menus provide a list of modems which have been
- tested with Access Server and for which scripts have been written. It can
- be very difficult (and sometimes impossible) to successfully use a modem
- which is not specifically listed.
-
- 1. Access Server currently supports the following modems:
- Version 1.01 as shipped:Version 1.01 of Access Server, contains a
- few modems not included with version 1.0. ONLAN/PC was not
- updated. In order to update ONLAN/PC, copy the NASMODEM.CNF file
- from Access Server Version 1.01 diskette to the ONLAN/PC diskette
- and rename the file ONLANMDM.CNF.

- 2. Provided by PTF 238
- New Modem Strings have been added to ONLAN.CNF/ONLANMDM.CNF and
- NASMODEM.CNF adding support for:
- Codex 2234 and 2264
- Hayes Smartmodem 9600 v.32

-
- V.42
- At the present time V.42 and V.42bis capability is not specifically
- supported. However, it is often possible to get such modems to work with
- Access Server if the V.42 feature is turned off.
-
- V.32 and MNP
- US Robotics V.32 and MNP modems work properly with Access Server. Other
- "High End" modems with features such as V.32 and MNP which may work with
- Access Server tend to switch to such "feature" settings when communicating
- with exact duplicates of themselves and then can not communicate/connect
- with other modems unless manually reset.
-
- "HAYES COMPATIBLE"
- Both Access Server and ONLAN provide the user with the choice of "Hayes
- Compatible". This provides only a 1200 BPS connection and is not
- recommended as a choice unless all other options have been tried.
- At speeds above 2400 bps the term "Hayes Compatible" has little meaning.
-
- MULTIPLEXERS
- Certain AT&T, MultiTech, and Racal-Vadic MUXs have been certified. Set the
-
- MUX configuration to control carrier with DTR. If using a MUX configure
- Access Server for "Direct Connect" and for a specific baud rate (not AUTO
- BAUD).
-
- DIRECT CONNECT
- In addition PCs and/or ASCII terminals can be directly connected to the
- Access Server through a RS-232 null modem cable. Distances greater than
- the RS232 specification of 50' require a modem or line driver. Configure
- for a specific baud rate (not AUTO BAUD).
