All functions of MTE can be performedfrom within the Menu System. Simply press the firstletter of the item you choose, or use the cursorkeys to position the cursor over the item and pressthe return key. (The menus can still be called upby using Alt ~ for MTE 2.0 compatibility).By selecting the "Use Menu System" option in theGeneral Setup menu, the Menu System isautomatically entered after each call and uponentering the program.Parameter Settings      PORT:   Is the communications port to which              your modem is connected.  (Also              known as COM port and Async port).      BAUD:   Is the data rate at which your              computer "talks" to the modem.              Actually, the correct term is bps or              bits per second.     PARITY:  Is a bit check performed on the data              byte by the com port hardware.  For              the most part, you need not concern              youself with parity.  If you are              unsure, try "None" or "Even" parity. WORDLENGTH:  Is the number of data bits in the              data byte.  For most modem commun-              ications, the wordlength plus the              parity bit must be equal to 8.  MTE              automatically adjusts the wordlength,              when setting the parity, to assure an              8 bit length.   STOPBITS:  This is the number of bits to add to              the end of each byte for padding              between bytes.  For most applications,              you should set stopbits to 1.Below is an example of what an asynchronous datastream looks like.  The data flows from left toright. ─────┐   ┌───┐                   ┌───┐   ┌─────      └───┘   └───────────────────┘   └───┘             0   1   2   3   4   5   6              │                               │   │        └─ Start                Parity ─┘   └─ StopThe Start bit is always one bit long and has avalue of 0 (shown by a line being low).  Next are 7data bits numbered 0 through 6.  In this examplethat data bits form the hexidecimal value 41 (orthe ASCII letter "A").  See your quick referencecard for an ASCII chart. ─────┐   ┌───┐                   ┌───┐   ┌─────      └───┘   └───────────────────┘   └───┘             0   1   2   3   4   5   6              │                               │   │        └─ Start                Parity ─┘   └─ StopNext is the optional parity bit.  If parity is setto "None", then this bit position becomes bit 7 ofthe data bits, allowing 8 bit data to be transmittedand received.  Last is the stop bit, which finishesout the frame.  This stopbit is "stretched" untilthe next data byte is transmitted.	General SetupThe SETUP MENU allows you to preset certain defaultfeatures in MTE.  Use of the up and down arrow keysallows you to select the area to be changed.  Theenter key gives you the options in that area.  Incertain areas the F2 key gives you a list to choosefrom, then automatically changes the setting to thechoice you made.DIAL PREFIX:  this allows you to add digits or              pauses necessary to begin a normal              telephone call.  "ATDT" is the Hayes              compatible sequence to begin tone              dialing.  The prefix is sent before               each call, and this is where you would              put a PBX dialing access number. MODEM SETUP:  the modem setup string is sent to the              modem before each call.  F2 will give              you a list of common modem settings.               Check your modem manual for other              details.EDITOR NAME:  an editor's drive:\path\name.ext can              be specified for use with the ALT A               keystroke, or the EDIT menu selection.              You will also be prompted for a file              name.  If no name is specified, MTE's              editor is automatically invoked.SEND          this option specifies where filesFILE DIR:     are sent from during normal file               transfers and the Mini-Host session.RECEIVE       this option specifies where files areFILE DIR:     automatically put when received              during normal file transfers and the              Mini-Host sessions.SOUND         enables and Disables the "SoundEFFECTS:      Effects" when menus are brought up              and taken down.HOST          selects a password which is neededPASSWORD:     to enter the Mini-Host mode.  If this              is left blank no password will be              asked for.SHELL         selects a password to be used forPASSWORD:     remote access into DOS from Mini-HostSCREEN DUMP:  specifies the name of the file which              is to contain the screen dump.  If no              name is specified, the screen dump              file is named "MTE.SCR".EMULATION:    you can toggle through the available              terminal emulations using the space              bar, or go directly to the emulation	      needed if the first letter is known. DATA          specifies whether the Data SpeedometerSPEEDOMETER:  is displayed on the main screen.REDIAL 	      specifies the number of secondsDELAY SECS:   to wait between redials.USE MENU      specifies whether the menu system SYSTEMS:      will be used when the user is              Offline.  The Alt key sequences will               be used if this option is set to "N".MNP           specifies if MTE will attempt an MNPDIAL LEVEL:   connection during a manual dial.  An              "N" setting will not attempt an MNP              connection.MNP           similiar to the MNP Dial Level exceptANSWER LEVEL: is used in Mini-Host and Auto Answer              modes.AUTO BAUD     if set to "ON" MTE will automaticallyADJUST:       adjust the port speed to match the              connect speed returned by the modem              connect message.  "OFF" disables this               feature for use with certain high              speed modems.  This is not used when              manually dialing from Terminal Mode.FLOW CONTROL: instructs MTE on what type of flow              control, if any, is to be used.  The              options are "NONE" - no flow control              is used, "XON/XOFF" - software flow              control is used, and RTS/CTS -               hardware flow control is used. ENQUIRY	      specifies how MTE reacts to an ENQ (ENQ):        (Ctrl-E).  "OFF" means MTE will not              react to a received ENQ.  "ON" means              MTE will respond with the string              assigned to the Alt-0 Keyboard Macro.The commands below specify how MTE will handle anASCII UPLOAD.  LINE PACING:  specifies the delay (in 10ths of a              second) between lines of data.	  CHARACTER     specifies the delay between charactersPACING:       being sent.  The pacing is in 1/1000 	      of a second increments.  Character	      Pacing is ignored if in MNP Mode. EXPAND        MTE can specify if blank lines can beBLANK LINES:  left in messages.  "Yes" means a space              character will be sent to the other              computer for each blank line sent. 	      "No" means no character spaces will	      be added for each blank line.CR            this option tells MTE how "carriageTRANSLATE:    return" characters will be processed              during an upload.  "None" means that              carriage returns will be sent. "Strip"              means no carriage returns will be sent              with the data.  "Add LF" means a line              feed will also be sent along with the              carriage return. LF           this specifies how line feedTRANSLATE:   characters in files being sent will              be processed by MTE.  "Strip" means             line feeds will not be sent in the             data.  "None" means regular line feeds             will be sent to the host computer.              "Add CR" means a carriage return then             a line feed will be sent for every 	     line feed in the data.Dialing DirectoryThe DIALING DIRECTORY will perform the followingfunctions:  C  Call another Computer or Data Service.  E  Edit or Add to the Dialing Directory.  D  Delete an entry from the Dialing Directory.  M  Manual Dial another Computer or Data Service.  L  Assign an Auto Logon to an entry.Help will be available for the individual functionswhile you are within that particular area.Keyboard MacrosCommonly used strings can be automatically typedin for you by defining the Alt-0 through Alt-9keys.  Then, by pressing the appropriate Alt-keysequences, time can be saved by not having to enterthe individual keystrokes.To create or add a Macro, first use the arrow keysto move to the Macro you wish to create.  The pressthe carriage return or R to revise.  Type in thecharacters wanted in the Macro.  Special characterscan also be used.  For example, the "!" is used fora carriage return.  This can be added to a linewhere a carriage return keystroke would normally beused. The ~ character will be interpreted as a .5second delay, not a ~.  The | character will beinterpreted as an escape, and the ^ character will interpreted as a Control next character.  Forexample, to send a  Ctrl-A you would type in thecharacter ^ then the letter A.Be sure to save your Macros by pressing the S key.MTE does not automatically save them for you, andif you left the program they would be lost.File UploadTo send information from your computer to a hostcomputer is called UPLOADING.  The host computerhas to be ready to receive. The selection oftransfer protocols available with MTE are listedbelow along with there common usages.ASCII        uploads are generally used for             transfering pretyped text into a             message system, reducing your on-line             time.  Options within ASCII uploadsXMODEM       is the first and most commonly used             file transfer protocol.  XMODEM uses             a 128 byte data block.  This protocol              uses an 8-bit checksum for error             checking.  XMODEM is not recommended             for use while in MNP mode because of             speed constraints.XMODEM/CRC   is generally the same as XMODEM except              XMODEM/CRC uses a 16-bit error             checking protocol called CRC.YMODEM       is similar to XMODEM/CRC except it             sends 1024 byte data blocks.  This             protocol is generally faster than             XMODEM because it is more effecient.YMODEM       is the same as YMODEM except you can BATCH	     send multiple files.YMODEM-G     is the protocol to use if in MNP.             Basically the same as YMODEM, but             because of the error free MNP link,             this protocol doesn't have to wait for             acknowledgements between data packets.YMODEM 	     is sometimes called the "streaming BATCH-G      protocol".  This is the same as             YMODEM-G except multiple files can             be sent.             A PROGRESS screen is displayed during a filetransfer which shows the percentage of informationtransferred.File DownloadA DOWNLOAD is when you are receiving informationfrom a host computer.  The host computer has to betold when to start sending the file(s).Files are received in the "Received File Dir",unless otherwise specified by the filename.  Thedefault directory is \MTE\RECV, which is specifiedin the SETUP MENU.Technical MNP InfoTechnical MNP information is shown to give a statusof the current MNP session.CONNECT BAUD RATE:  The speed at which the modems                    are actually connected.  ELAPSED TIME:       The length of time connected to                    the other modem.  (Online Time)MNP LEVEL:          The highest MNP level negotiated                    between MTE and the connected                     Modem.MNP SERIES ID:      The series ID or name of the                    Manufacturer of the connected                     modem.TRASMIT:            The number of Packets Sent.RECEIVED:           The number of Packets Received.If the DUPLICATES is a high number, this is phone  "noise" and would have been errors on your screen.MAXIMUM SPEED is the fastest transfer of charactersbetween the computers. This number may be fasterthan the connect baud rate because MTE hasnegotiated compression with the other modem.EditorAn EDITOR name can be specified in the SETUP MENU.If no name is stated MTE will automatically run itsown editor.  You will be asked which file is to beedited, or a list of files can be displayed by pressing the F4 key.  Move to the file to be editedand press the enter key.  While in the files listyou can also change the current directory you arein.  The commands that can be used from within theeditor are listed at the bottom of the editorscreen.  Help is also available from within theeditor.Dialing Directory, AUTO LOGONA separate AUTO LOGON may be entered for eachentry in the dialing directory.LOOK FOR:      In this area print what the host               computer is asking for, for ex-               ample "Enter your name here:",               would be typed "here:". You can               only have 8 characters in this               area.  Using the last part of the               LOOK FOR sequence is usually               safer so that the computers do               not try to type at the same time.RESPOND WITH:  In this area print what you want to               respond with, "Bob Smith!", would be               printed completely. If the RESPOND                WITH answer is extremely long then                you can continue on to the next                RESPOND WITH area after leaving the                next LOOK FOR area blank.SPECIAL CHARS: These characters are used to create               actions.  The ~ character will be               interpreted as a .5 second delay               not a ~.	       The ! Character will be interpreted                as a Carriage Return.    	       The | Character will act as an               escape.                               The ^ character will act as a                Control next character.  For example               to send a Ctrl-A you would type in               the character ^ then the letter A.Dialing Directory, EDIT MODEIn the EDIT MODE of the dialing directory you canedit the entries.  You can add new entries or editthe existing entries.  While in the EDIT MODE thecursor keys and PgUp & PgDn keys are available.Use the Enter key to get to the next field.In the EDIT MODE all pages and entries can beedited.In the LOG field you have two choices:  "Y" meaningYES I want to use the auto logon feature, and "N"meaning NO the auto logon feature is not to beused.In the MNP field your options are Y,N,2,4.  The "Y"means MTE will try for an MNP connection usually tolevel 5.  The "N" means no MNP negotiaton will beattempted.  The "2" restricts the MNP to level 2.The "4" restricts the MNP connection to level 4.To return to the Dialing Directory without Editingan entry, press ESC after returning from help.Dialing Directory, MANUAL DIALYou may use the MANUAL DIAL option to dial a phonenumber you do not wish to put in the directory.You must be off-line to use the MANUAL DIALfunction.  If you are on-line or have incorrectlyset the carrier detect on the modem a warningwindow will appear and not allow you to make thecall.A manual Phone call uses the default Parametersettings.  (Alt-P, or CHANGE then PARAMETERS in themenu system)Dialing Directory, DELETE AN ENTRYFrom the DELETE ENTRIES area you can removeentries from the directory. When a directory is deleted, the LOG, MNP, andSETTINGS are returned to the default parametersof Y, Y, 2400,N,8,1 and the NAME & NUMBER fieldsare cleared.If you want just a certain area deleted the EDITarea of the dialing directory should be used.To return to the Dialing Directory without Deletingan entry, press ESC after returning from help.InformationWelcome to MTE, the program that is the solutionfor error corrected telecommunications. Computer telecommunication allows access tonationwide databases and information systems.Most of these systems now support MNP.  MTEuses MNP (Microcom Networking Protocol) errorcorrection protocol levels 2, 4, and 5.   Level 1   MNP error correction (half duplex)   Level 2   MNP error correction (async)   Level 3   MNP error correction (sync)   Level 4   Data Packet Optimization   Level 5   Data CompressionHelp screens are available at various placesthroughout the program, where the Alt-Z isdisplayed in the upper left hand corner on theStatus Line.   Simply press Alt-Z and theappropriate screen will appear.  Instructions willbe on the screen along with the number of pages inthat particuliar help screen. To exit the helpscreen(s) press the exit key once. If help is asked for in terminal mode the list ofAlt-key presses will first be displayed.  If helpis asked for at any other time help with what youare currently doing is displayed. MOUSE SUPPORT     MTE will support two or three		   button mice.

You can navigate though thedirectory structure of your disk several ways.Pressing the "C" key will allow you to specify anew directory.  Also, pressing enter on an entrymarked "<DIR>" will change to that directory.Key HelpThis screen shows the keystrokes available to getto all of the MTE features.  These keys can be usedfrom Terminal Mode or in the Menu System.  If the"Use Menu System" option is set to "N" (in theGeneral Setup Menu) then the Alt keys will have tobe used to move throughout MTE.  The Menu Systemcan still be used in conjuction with the Alt keycommands.This keystroke screen can be displayed by moving tothe "?HELP" option in the Menu System or by pressingAlt-Z while in Terminal Mode.Changing Current DirectoryThis option allows you change the currentdirectory.  After changing the directory, pressing(ALT-F7) will display the new directory, bydefault.  Also, you will be in the new directorywhen you exit MTE.CD OverrideMini Host OnlineExit to DOSExit to DOS, quitting MTE.  MTE asks forconfirmation that you want to exit and return toDOS.  "Y" means you will exit the program, and the modem will disconnect if you are currently online.Pressing "N" or any other key will keep you in MTE.If you would like to temporarily "Shell" to DOS you can do this by pressing Alt-F4.  Then when you are finished running programs in the DOS shell and wantto return to MTE, simply type "EXIT" from the DOSprompt.Options This allows you to set Dialing Options.  Theseinclude intelligent Area Code checking, localdialing prefix, long distance dialing prefix andsuffix.  To use this option the phone numbers mustbe entered in "XXX-XXX-XXXX" or "XXX-XXX" format. If a number is not entered in on of these formats,it is dialed without modification.LOCAL AREA CODE  Enter your local area code here.                 If the number you are calling is                 in the current area code then MTE                  will not dial the code and will                 use the Local Prefix (below).LOCAL PREFIX   Number to get an outside line,                (Normally "9," for a PBX).LD PREFIX      Number to dial to get a local               outside line for long distance               calling, (Normally "9,1" for a PBX).LD SUFFIX      This number is added to the end of a               long distance phone number.  Used by               some long distance carriers for               office accounting codes.EXAMPLE:You work in Chicago. Your LOCAL AREA CODE is 312.You often fly to New York on business, where thearea code is 212.  You call into the office E-mailsystem twice daily to check messages.  Instead ofkeeping two separate dialing directory entries, orediting all your entries when traveling, simplyswitch the local area code from 312 to 212.  Whenin Chicago, MTE will strip the 312 from the phonenumber before dialing and use the LOCAL PREFIX. InNew York, MTE will use the LD PREFIX and LD SUFFIX.
