- INSTALLING HS/LINK EXTERNAL PROTOCOL
- IN PCBOARD 14.5
- (REFER TO HS-145A FOR INSTALLATION UNDER PCBOARD 14.5A)
-
-
- Please refer to the PCBOARD manual and change HISTORY for detailed
- information on installation of external protocols. This
- information was tested with HSLINK betas posted on 10/30/91 and
- PCBOARD 14.5. PCBoard 14.5 does not fully support HS/Link, so it
- is recommended that you upgrade to PCBoard 14.5A.
-
- The following installation steps should work for most folks:
-
- Copy the provided PCBSH.BAT and PCNRH.BAT files into your \PCB
- system directory. On a multi-node system, copy these files into
- the \PCB directory for each node. Copy HSLINK.EXE into directory
- included in your search PATH.
-
- You can edit PCBSH.BAT and PCBRH.BAT to include options on the
- HSLINK command line, but most folks won't need to change anything.
- If your system can't keep up with the COM port while accessing the
- disk drive, you may want to add -HS to the command line in each
- file. If you want to experiment, there are a number of optional
- parameters you can read about in HSLINK.DOC and HSLINK.NEW.
-
- Contents of PCBSH.BAT
- ---------------------
- echo off
- if exist pcberr.fil del pcberr.fil
- if exist %DSZLOG% del %DSZLOG%
- hslink -hs -p%1 -e%5 -nu %3
- |
- +---- this was added if you need slow handshake
-
- Contents of PCBRH.BAT
- ---------------------
- echo off
- if exist pcberr.fil del pcberr.fil
- if exist %DSZLOG% del %DSZLOG%
- hslink -hs -p%1 -e%5 -u%3
- |
- +---- this was added if you need slow handshake
-
- Next you need to install the HS/LINK protocol into the PCBOARD
- protocol menu. There are two ways to do this.
-
- The easiest is to edit your \PCB\GEN\PCBPROT.DAT file in text
- editor and add the following line:
- H,D,1024,HS/Link (batch),N,N,Y
-
- If you prefer to use PCBSETUP, the following steps will give the
- same result.
-
- Load up PCBSETUP and press C to access the FILE LOCATIONS 2 screen.
- Then cursor down to the PROTOCOL DATA FILE and press F2.
- In this screen you press ALT-I to insert a new protocol.
- When asked for "USE" enter "H".
- When asked for "TYPE" enter "B".
- When asked for "SIZE" enter "1024".
- When asked for "MNP" enter "N".
- When asked for "PORT OPEN" enter "N".
- When asked for "LOCK LINES" enter "Y".
-
- You should see the protocol defined like this:
- …ÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕª

- ∫ H D 1024 N N Y HS/Link (batch) ±
- ∫ ∫
-
- Press ESC to exit this screen.
- When asked "SAVE CHANGES" press "Y" and ENTER.
- Press ESC two more times to exit the setup program.
- When asked "SAVE Y/N/Q/A" press "Q" and ENTER.
-
-
- I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take
- responsibility for anydamages resulting from these instructions. If you
- get stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come with PCBOARD
- and with HSLINK. If all else fails, call up the tool shop and ask for
- help on the main board. Either I will help you, or somebody else will
- know the answer and give you a hand.
-
- Good luck!
