Modem Options (continued)
Connection Method
From the pull down list, choose the method by which the modem connection is to be
established.
Select Modem dialer if the connection will be established using a modem which is
initialized using conventional modem commands and their expected modem responses.
An optional login script can be used to complete the connection with the remote system
after the modem connection has been established. Login scripts are described in Chapter
1.7 of the KwikNet Device Driver Technical Reference Manual.
Select Login script if the connection will be established using a login script which defines
the sequence of commands to be issued and the response expected. You must provide a
login script to use this method. All modem initialization and remote login must be
handled by your login script. Login scripts are described in Chapter 1.7 of the KwikNet
Device Driver Technical Reference Manual.
Select Windows direct connection if you are using a direct wired connection to a host
computer running the Microsoft Windows operating system. This direct connection is
considered a pseudo modem because Windows requires a special login string to establish
the connection. This method of connection does not support login scripts.
Connection Direction
Once you have selected the connection method, select the radio button to indicate the
direction in which the connection will be established.
Select the Outgoing radio button if your modem must initiate the connection.
Select the Incoming radio button if the remote system must initiate the connection.
Disconnect When Idle
If you want to automatically disconnect from the remote system when the connection has
not been used recently, check this box and enter the number of seconds that the line must
remain idle before disconnecting. If you leave this box unchecked, the line will remain
active until the remote system terminates the connection, your application calls
kn_ifclose() to shut down the network interface to which the modem is attached or
KwikNet is shut down.
Note
Once you have selected the connection method and
direction, the relevant dialing parameters will be editable.
All other parameters will appear dimmed.
