New Hayes Ultra Modem Driver for NetWare MHS 1.5 revB and MHS 1.5C. This document describes how to use this driver. Contents of this .ZIP file -------------------------- HULTRA.LOG HULTRA.DEF README.TXT This new Hayes V-Series ULTRA Smartmodem 9600 modem driver can now handle sending messages to the receiving MHS host using a 2400 baud modem. --------------------------------- Generic Installation Instructions --------------------------------- Unless otherwise noted, you can add modem drivers by following these steps. 1) Stop NetWare MHS and exit. 2) If you are running the Network Edition, re-login as a supervisor equivalent (necessary to change the MHS configuration and copy files to the MHS directory). 3) Copy all the extracted *.DEF and *.LOG files to your %MV\MHS\SYS directory (where %MV is the value of your MV environment variable). 4) Install your new modem following the manufacturer's instructions. 5) Type "MHS" and press twice (to display the main menu) - Select "Manage Directories" - Select "Set up this host" 6) Set modem type to the correct driver name (eg HULTRA) - Set Default speed for modem (in this case 9600) 7) Exit to the Directory Manager - Exit to the main menu 8) Select "Setup Transport Server" - Set Speed sensing enabled to YES or NO depending on the modem - Change the modem type to the correct driver name (same as in step 4) - Change the modem speed to match that in step 4 (here it's 9600) 9) Make sure that all "hosts which call this host" have a baud rate compatible with yours in their host definition at this host. 10) Exit MHS, logout, and log MHS back in (for the Personal Edition, just restart MHS). General Note concerning high-speed modems: If you have an older computer or a PC/XT or PC compatible computer - check the chip used in the serial port. If the chip is an 8250 or 8250B it will NOT work at high speed. To allow high speed modems to be used, get an AT serial card that uses a faster version of the 8250 (numbered as a 82450, 16450, or 16550). An AT serial card WILL work in a PC/XT. Special Instructions for Hayes V-Series ULTRA Smartmodem 9600 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Modem driver name: HULTRA Default speed: 9600 *This must be the speed set for this driver. * Speed sensing enabled: NO (the modem does the speed sensing) Important Note: Hayes V-Series Modems REQUIRE RTS (pin 4) to be connected when the modem is connected at 9600 or the modem will not TRANSMIT data to the REMOTE modem. Some pre-made serial cables do not connect RTS to the computer. Please check that your cable connects the following lines from the modem to the computer: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20, 22. The pins these lines connect to on the computer side depends on the style of computer. For example: o AT 9 Pin Connectors (Modem Pin Number is the FIRST Number) (Connector on Computer will be a 9 pin MALE (PINS) ) 2-3, 3-2, 4-7, 5-8, 6-6, 7-5, 8-1, 20-4, 22-9 o PC/AT 25 Pin Connectors (Modem Pin Number is the FIRST Number) (Connector on Computer will be a 25 pin MALE (Pins) ) 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8, 20-20, 22-22 ALL LINES LISTED ARE REQUIRED ON BOTH STYLES. Also note that a 25 pin FEMALE is a PARALLEL PORT connector. Connecting the modem to a PARALLEL PORT *WILL* DAMAGE the PARALLEL PORT. ********************************************************************** DISCLAIMER Novell, Inc. makes no representations or warranties with respect to the modem driver, and specifically disclaims any express or implied warranties of merchantability, title, or fitness for a particular purpose.
