-
- This screen controls the settings that permit WinNET Mail to
- operate your modem to communicate with the WinNET (UK) system.
-
- The defaults will work for most modems, but please check:
-
- o PCUG Internet Service Telephone Number. If you are
- calling from outside the United Kingdon, 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. PCUG Internet Service Telephone Number. WinNET Mail
- communicates with the WinNET UK server via telephone. The
- WinNET UK server telephone number is:
-
- 081-427 7769
-
- If you are calling from outside this region, you
- will need to change the PCUG Internet Service Telephone
- Number to the direct dial number, and add whatever
- international calling codes are required to place
- a call to the United States.
-
- Things to remember:
-
- A. Some business lines require that you get an outside
- line first. Often by dialing a 9, or an 8 first.
- Example:
-
- 9,,081-427 7769
-
- For most modems a comma means pause for 2 seconds.
-
- C. For international callers:
-
- Country Code: 44, City Code: 81, phone: 427 7769
-
- 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
-
- 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 UK 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).
