This section provides instructions on how to set up your PC to work
with the Model 24 with respect to the BayTech software (if you intend to
use it) and special considerations when connecting your PC in serial.
If you intend to use the RAMEXEC or RAMTSR hot key programs to
select between multiple peripherals, you would typically add the
command C:>RAMEXEC or C:>RAMTSR to your PC's
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The subdirectory created by running the
INSTALL program should be included in the PATH command. If using
the WNDEXEC program for Microsoft Windows, you should follow the
step by step instructions in the README file created by running the
INSTALL program. Please see
Section 4.2
for INSTALL instructions.
NOTE: All users that wish to use the hot key software should have a
copy of the program on their PC's hard drive. You may copy
RAMEXEC (or RAMTSR) from a PC that has already configured this
program using SETUP (or SETUPCFG) onto other PCs.
If connecting your PC to the Model 24 in serial, you would typically
reroute the parallel output to the serial port via the DOS command
C:>MODE LPTx:=COMy:, where x=1, 2, or 3 and y=1 or 2. This
command should be included in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you have
a local parallel printer connected to your PC, you would not include this
command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Instead, you would have your
applications software direct output to LPTx to print to the local printer or
COMy to send print jobs to the Model 24.
NOTE: If you have a local printer connected to your PC and you wish
to use RAMEXEC or RAMTSR, set up the local printer to use LPT1 and
RAMEXEC or RAMTSR to use LPT2. Then you would add the
command MODE LPT2:=COMY: to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, where
Y = 1 or 2.
