The default intitialization is satisfactory for most Hayes compatible 1200 and 2400 bps modems. Otherwise enter the specific initialization string your modem requires. Also see: ^Editing Keys^ *E *B 4,Comm Port Communications Port Select the comm port to use. COM1: through COM4: are valid. If you specify COM3: or COM4: you are prompted for the "extended comm port specification." This requires entry of the port address in hexa- decimal form (examples: 2E0, 3F0, 2E8, etc.) and the IRQ (interrupt) number. IRQ numbers for comm ports typically range between 2 to 7, but there are exceptions. Also see: ^Editing Keys^ *E *B 5,Opening Rate Opening Rate Select the rate at which to open the communications port. Results of an opening speed faster than that for which your modem is designed are not determined. Consult your modem user's manual. Also see: ^Editing Keys^ ^Autobauding^ *E *B 6,Autobauding Autobauding Unless you have an MNP buffered modem, you should select autobauding. This allows the speed of the comm port to be adjusted automatically by JaxHost to the connect speed achieved by the modems. Users of MNP modems, such as the USR Courier HST or Hayes 9600, may wish to operate the modem-to- commport part of the link at a higher rate than that at which the modems connect. This provides *P for greater overall speed of the communications link and utilizes the modem's buffer. If you choose this option, you may also want to set up your modem so that the highest negotiated connect speed is established. Also see: ^Editing Keys^ ^Opening Rate^ *E *B 7,Answer String Answer String Any text you choose to be sent out the modem when answering a call. You may specify up to a maximum of 65 characters. Also see: ^Editing Keys^ *E *B 8,Password Password Specify up to 20 characters for use as the system password. Lower case letters are automatically capitalized. Password matching by JaxHost is case insensitive. Also see: ^Editing Keys^ *E *B 9,Answer Method Ring/Answer Methods To provide maximum flexibility in using JaxHost on phone lines that are shared with voice callers, several methods of calling (ringing) and answering are provided: Regular - JaxHost will answer any ring. (Picks up after the first ring.) Long Ring - JaxHost will answer on the nth ring, where n may be any number from 0 to 9. Values of 0 or 1 produce the "Regular" mode (above). The number of rings is specified in a separate option. *P Ring Back - JaxHost will not pick up on the first call but will "evaluate" it to see if it should answer a second call if it should be received less than a minute later. JaxHost may be conditioned to answer the second call depending on the number of rings received on the first call and the value in the "Number of Rings" option. If this value is specified as 0, JaxHost will answer a second call occurring within one minute of a call consisting of any number of rings. *P Triggered Callback - A combination of Ring Back and Call Back where JaxHost will dial out to the pre- configured phone number upon receipt of two calls which conform to the Ring Back process described on the previous page. Unlike the Ring Back method, JaxHost dials out in response to the second call (rather than going offhook to answer it). This feature may be used to "trigger" a call from long distance without paying long distance charges. The cost of achieving a connection is billed in its entirety to the number at which JaxHost is located. Also see: ^Editing Keys^ ^Number of Rings^ *E *B 10,Number of Rings Number of Rings If the Long Ring method has been selected, this option specifies the number of rings to allow before picking picking up. Values of 0 and 1 have the same effect as the Regular answer method. If the Ring Back method has been selected, a value of 0 indicates that any number of rings will set up JaxHost to take action should another call be made within one minute. Any other value indicates the number of rings needed to set up for the second call. Also see: ^Editing Keys^ ^Answer Method^ *E *B 11,Callback Number Callback Phone Number If an "N" or the word "None" entered here, callback is NOT implemented. Otherwise, callback security is considered implemented. If JaxHost is started with a command line parm of "C", and callback security is implemented, the specified phone number is dialed. This occurs instead of dropping the successful caller to DOS on the host system. To specify a delay, use a ~ (tilde character). Each tilde will cause a 1 second delay in the dialing operation. Also see: ^Editing Keys^ *E *B 12,Dial System Dialing System Specify whether the dialing system to which JaxHost is attached is a touchtone system or the old pulse dialing system. This parameter is needed in the event callback security is implemented. *E *B 13,Command String Shell Command w/Parameters If this command line entry is left blank, JaxHost expects to drop to DOS upon successful entry of the password. In that case, your host communications setup MUST be implemented with batch files. See the samples outlined in JAXHOST.DOC and the .BAT files that were provided with JaxHost. If you wish to transfer control from JaxHost to another communi- cations program directly, upon entry of the correct password, then you must enter that program name followed by any necessary command line parameters on the first of the two lines provided on the config- uration screen. *P Should any parameters extend beyond the end of the first line, merely continue entering them on the second line. A parameter string may be split across lines with no ill effect. If you wish to invoke a batch file as a direct command, you must use COMMAND.COM and precede it with a full path specification. For example, to invoke a batch file as a command (and return to hang up at its conclusion), you may specify some- thing like the following: C:\COMMAND /C RUN.BAT Also see: ^Editing Keys^ *E *B 14,Ring Detect Answer on True Ring Detect? This setting determines whether JaxHost will use the modem's ring detect signal or the result code "RING" reported by the modem to determine when to cause the modem to answer a call. The general recommendation is to answer "No" to this question. If you know that your modem cable carries the ring detect signal and you are having problems getting the modem to respond to a call, then try answering "Yes." *E
