Internet Locator Server Support
-------------------------------
Carbon Copy 32 can now use Internet Locator Servers (ILS's) to
browse the internet for Carbon Copy 32 hosts in wait for call.
ILS servers are located throughout the world and are free to use.
They serve as a medium through which Carbon Copy 32 users can
identify other Carbon Copy users. In the previous versions of Carbon
Copy you could connect across the internet only if you knew the
TCP/IP address of the host in wait for call. Now it is much easier.
Now you don't have to know the TCP/IP address. When going into
wait-for-call, Carbon Copy 32 can now be configured to send a
message to one or more ILS servers advertising itself as an
available host. A Carbon Copy 32 guest located across the internet
can also browse to one or more ILS servers. If the ILS server
that the Carbon Copy 32 guest is browsing to "knows" about any
hosts in wait-for-call, it will inform the guest. The guest
then displays a list of available host. All you have to do is
click on one of the available hosts to connect. Connecting across
the internet is now as simple and easy as connecting on a local
area network!
Connect Through Firewall Support
--------------------------------
Internet firewalls are designed to protect local networks from
unwanted access by people on the internet. They operate by
filtering certain types of network traffic. Carbon Copy 32 now
offers the features necessary to be able to connect through a
firewall. You can now call into your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) and access your networked office PC that lies behind your
corporate firewall to work from home or access files and resources
from anywhere. Technical support representatives can now support
their users in the same room, on the next floor, in the next
building, or across the country, quickly and easily.
Data Encryption
---------------
Internet security has become a concern. Carbon Copy 32 address
this concern by giving you the ability to encrypt all the data
that flows between workstations during a Carbon Copy 32 connection.
Should someone be monitoring the data flow of an encrypted Carbon
Copy 32 connection, he would see what appears to be random data.
Your sensitive data remains concealed.
Native NT Security
------------------
Carbon Copy 32 now simplifies your security hassles by offering
Native NT Security. You will no longer have to create separate
user names and passwords for your Carbon Copy 32 users. With
Native NT Security, Carbon Copy 32 users can be granted access
based on their NT Login account. You can now specify which users
are allowed to connect to your NT workstations and servers, and
which Carbon Copy 32 applications that they may use.
Multiple IP Adapter Support
---------------------------
In today's complex networking environments it is not uncommon for
a workstation on a network to have multiple TCP/IP adapters. For
example a PC can have a network adapter that it uses to communicate
via the local network, and it can also have another network adapter
that is used to communicate via a dial-up networking connection.
For each network adapter there can be a valid, unique, TCP/IP
address. Another example of a workstation that has multiple adapters
and Consequently multiple TCP/IP addresses is an NT server that has
multiple network cards and acts as a router between two sub-nets.
Carbon Copy 32 now gives you control over which adapter is used.
Enhanced Dial-up Networking Support
-----------------------------------
Carbon Copy 32 can now browse for hosts in wait for call through a
dial-up networking connection. Establishing Dial-up
networking connections is now easier than ever.
Host Pooling
------------
The Host Pooling feature allows you to place many Carbon Copy 32
hosts in wait for call on a network with the same workstation
name. A Carbon Copy 32 guest can then browse and connect to one
of the available hosts. As other Carbon Copy 32 guests browse,
they can simply connect to the next available Carbon Copy 32 host.
Remote Install
--------------
Remote Install lets you install Carbon Copy 32 to a remote PC. If
you are a network administrator and must install Carbon Copy 32 on
many users' PC's, you can do so from the comfort of your own office.
Remote Start
------------
Remote Start allows you to remotely launch Carbon Copy 32. Once
Carbon Copy 32 is launched and in wait for call a user can connect
And run Remote Control or File Transfer or any of the other Carbon
Copy applications.
Quiet Install
-------------
If you are a PC support technician and must install Carbon Copy 32
on many PC's, you can reduce the installation time by using quite
install. Quiet install lets pre-configure how you want Carbon Copy
32 to be installed, and then quickly and easily installs Carbon Copy
32 without interruption.
Host Without User Interface
---------------------------
You can now save PC system resources by configuring the Host to run
without loading the User Interface. This is automatic when configured
to run as a service, or you can choose the "Hide User Interface"
option from the tray icon menu.
Voice Over Data Support
-----------------------
Chat has been significantly enhanced to include voice. Now you can
remotely control a PC while talking to the person at the other end
at the same time. This feature can be used to save time diagnosing
a customer issue, or during a training exercise.
Remote Printing
---------------
The Remote Printing feature allows you to print files from any
application to the printer at the Host location, or the printer at
the Guest location. For example, you could use Remote Printing
if you are away from your office, but want to print a document
located on your office PC to the printer at your current location.
Simply connect to your office PC, and set up Remote Printing to
send the document to the printer at your current location.
Automated File Transfer
-----------------------
With the new Auto Pilot feature, you can configure Carbon Copy to
automatically send or receive files at any scheduled time. Auto Pilot
also features a unique rescheduling feature which will ensure the
files are transfered.
Cursor Track
------------
If you turn on "Track blinking cursors", your Remote Control view
will automatically track the blinking cursor such as that found
in Notepad or WordPad.
Host Mouse Motion
-----------------
If you turn on "Show Host Mouse Motion", the Guest mouse cursor
will now be updated when the Hosts mouse is moved. This is perfect
for teaching scenarios when the Host instructor wants to point out
something to the Guest student.
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
======================
Carbon Copy 32 is fully backward compatible with Carbon Copy for
Windows release 3.0 and later. Carbon Copy 32 can also establish
dial-up connections with Carbon Copy for DOS release 7.0.
CARBON COPY TERMINAL
====================
Carbon Copy Terminal fully supports baud rates up to 115200.
To use Carbon Copy Terminal at a baud rate of 115200, an enhanced
serial port card with a 16550 UART and a communications driver
that supports 115200 must be installed. Note that Windows 95 does
support 115,200 BPS.
INFORMATION NOT FOUND IN THE USER'S GUIDE
=========================================
Running Setup with Limited Disk Space
-------------------------------------
Setup requires a minimum of 5Mb of disk space plus 2Mb
of temporary workspace to install the complete Carbon Copy 32
product. If your disk space is limited to less than this
amount, and you have a previously installed version of
Carbon Copy for Windows on your hard disk, you may want
to uninstall it so you have enough space to reinstall the product.
Adobe Type Manager
------------------
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) modifies (patches) Windows in ways
which are not compatible with Carbon Copy 32 for Windows. If
you wish to use Carbon Copy on a system with ATM installed, you
must disable ATM.
Conferencing Server
-------------------
You can setup Carbon Copy as an unmanned conferencing server by seting
the "UnmannedServer=On" in the [Carbon Copy] section of the CCW32.INI
file. This will enable Carbon Copy to automatically answer the first
voice chat session, and refer all future voice chat aprovals to the
first voice chat station.
If you do not want any aprovals, then set "AutoAnswer=On in
the [Voice Chat] section of the CCW32.INI file. This will enable
Carbon Copy to automatically answer all incomming voice chat sessions.
Restart or Resume AutoPilot Tasks
---------------------------------
If you have configured an AutoPilot task to resume or restart a file
transfer in the event of a failure, it will attempt to retry 5 times by
default. If after 5 attempts the task has not completed, AutoPilot will
stop trying to run this task. You may change the number of retries by
adding the "MaxAutoPilotRetries=n" option to the [File Transfer] section
of the CCW32.INI file where "n" represents the number of retries. If you
set MaxAutoPilotRetries=0, AutoPilot will try indefinitely to complete
the task. IMPORTANT: Use the resume or restart AutoPilot options with
care when making long distance modem or dial-up networking connections.
Creating Phonebook Connection Icons using ILS
---------------------------------------------
When creating a phonebook connection icon that will establish a TCP/IP
connection using an ILS server you must specify the workstation name
using the following format: WORKSTATION_NAME{xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx}, where
WORKSTATION_NAME represents the name of the host, and {xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx}
represents the TCP/IP address of the host that is in wait for call on
the ILS server. For example, if a Carbon Copy 32 user is in wait for
call on ILS1.CarbonCopy.Com with the workstation name of "OfficePC"
and his TCP/IP address is 123.45.67.89, you should create a phonebook
entry with "OfficePC{123.45.67.89}" as the workstation name. The
easiest way to create a phonebook connection icon is to first browse
using the ILS server. When the list of available hosts appears on
the network tab, right-click on the host to which you want to connect,
and select Create Phonebook Entry. This will create a phonebook entry
for you.
KNOWN ISSUES
============
Logoff upon Disconnect
----------------------
The Logoff upon Disconnect feature (NT Only) may not work
properly on the original release of Windows NT 4.0 or on the
Windows NT service release 1.0. To resolve this issue, upgrade
your Windows NT workstation to service release 2.0 or greater.
Logoff upon Connect
----------------------
The Logoff upon Connect feature (NT Only) may not work
properly on the original release of Windows NT 4.0 or on the
Windows NT service release 1.0. To resolve this issue, upgrade
your Windows NT workstation to service release 2.0 or greater.
Disable Host Video
-------------------
You may experience problems on Windows 95 PCs when you have
selected the Disable Host Video option in Remote Control.
Disable Host Video is not compatible with all Windows 95
video cards.
Disable Host Video will only work on a Windows NT
Carbon Copy Host if the video driver on the Host PC
is configured for 256 colors.
Full Screen DOS Remote Control
-------------------------------
Full screen DOS boxes are not currently supported
on a Windows NT Host during Remote Control.
Video Card Problems Under Remote Control
----------------------------------------
The Diamond Viper video card will not work correctly as a
remote control host in hi-color (65536 colors) mode under
Windows NT 3.51. Change the host display resolution to
256 colors to correct the problem.
If you have a Cirrus 542x video card set for 256 colors
on a Windows NT PC, Carbon Copy 32 may indicate that it
cannot install the video driver. If this occurs, add the
following entry to the [Remote Control] section of the
CCW32.INI file, located in the directory where you
installed Carbon Copy 32:
VideoDriver=VGA256
Save the changes you made to CCW32.INI and restart Carbon
Copy 32. Answer Yes at the Video Driver Installation prompt,
and reboot your PC.
Some older video drivers for the Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 video
card may not work properly as a Remote Control host on Windows
95. If you experience problems with this video card, upgrade
the video card drivers to version 4.02.020 or later.
Backwards Compatibility with Previous Versions of Carbon Copy
-------------------------------------------------------------
Connections from Carbon Copy 32 to Carbon Copy 3.0 over
IPX or NetBIOS are not currently supported. However, you
can make connections between Carbon Copy 32 and
Carbon Copy 3.0 using TCP/IP or TAPI (modem). Carbon Copy
32 can also connect via modem with Carbon Copy for DOS
version 7.0.
Connections from Carbon Copy 32 to Carbon Copy 3.0 will not
support Remote Printing. To use remote printing, users must
connect between Carbon Copy 32 5.0 (or later) and another
Carbon Copy 32 5.0 (or later.)

Communications dialog box, you must exit Wait for Call
and then restart it for the changes to take effect.
Cannot launch multiple Carbon Copy 32 utilities
---------------------------------------------------------
If you are experiencing problems launching multiple Carbon
Copy utilities, add the following line to the CCW32.INI
file:
1. Open the file CCW32.INI
2. In the [Carbon Copy] section, add the line:
UtilityTimeout=40
3. By default, Utility Timeout is set to 40 seconds.
Try increasing the amount of seconds for utility timeout.
Do not set this parameter lower than 40 seconds.
4. Save any changes you made to CCW32.INI. You must restart
Carbon Copy for the change to take effect.
Running Carbon Copy as a Service on a Windows NT PC
----------------------------------------------------------
When you install Carbon Copy on a Windows NT PC using a
Shared installation, running Carbon Copy as a service is
not supported. Make sure you have not selected the
Load Carbon Copy before Windows Login Prompt on the
Security Options Global tab.
Full Duplex Voice Chat sessions
-------------------------------
Carbon Copy only supports full duplex audio via Voice Chat for the
first two stations. When a third station connects, Voice Chat will
be switched to half duplex mode. When the third stations disconnects,
the remaining two stations will be set back to full duplex.
Waiting for Call and Browsing ILS servers
-----------------------------------------
Waiting for call and browsing of ILS servers will be done in
alphabetical order. If the first server is slow, or not responding,
there may be a delay before Carbon Copy proceeds to the next server in
the list. As Carbon Copy is trying to communicate to the ILS server,
a yellow light is displayed next to the ILS server in the status tab.
If the server continues to be unresponsive, remove it from the ILS
servers list in the communications property sheets.
Remote Controlling a Host with Internet Explorer 4.0 Installed
--------------------------------------------------------------
You may experience poor Remote Control performance if your Host
PC has the Desktop Enhancements installed from Microsoft
