- INSTALLING HS/LINK EXTERNAL PROTOCOL
- IN RemoteAccess BBS VERSION 1.10
-
- Please refer to the RemoteAccess manual for detailed information on
- installation of external protocols. This information was tested
- with HS/Link betas posted on 11/19/91 after 3:45PM and RemoteAccess
- version 1.10.
-
- The following installation steps should work for most folks:
-
- Place a copy of HSLINK.EXE into your main C:\RA directory.
-
- Run RACONFIG.EXE and cursor over to MISC and press ENTER.
- Cursor down to PROTOCOLS and press ENTER.
- Press the INS key to insert a new protocol.
-
- The definition of the HS/Link should look like this:

-
- In place of c:\ra\xfer\6new substitute your own upload directory,
- if you use a different name for it.
-
- The bi-directional transfers only work when the Download command is
- used because you cannot request files to be received. You may want
- to explain to your users that they will need to describe any files
- they upload while downloading AFTER the transfer is completed.
-
- Note for systems running locked COM ports:
- We have found that if you use a locked DTE of 9600 or above, you
- will need to have a NS16550AN UART installed. Also, for rock solid
- performance you should add the -HS (Handshake Slow) switch to your
- 'Download cmd' and 'Upload cmd' configuration lines.
-
- This should get you set up in under 10 minutes.
-
- You can edit the 'Download cmd' and 'Upload cmd' configuration
- lines 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 both lines. If you want to experiment, there are a number
- of optional parameters you can read about in HSLINK.DOC and
- HSLINK.NEW.
-
- I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take
- responsibility for any damages resulting from these instructions.
- If you get stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come
- with RemoteAccess and with HS/Link. If all else fails, call up the
- Tool Shop and ask for help on the Support Conference. Either I
- will help you, or somebody else will know the answer and give you a
- hand.
-
- Good luck!
