The Black Widow - Modem
To prepare a Black Widow for modem communications, the following tasks
must be accomplished:
! Configure and install a modem.
! Reconfigure the Arachnet.
! Set the time and date.
! Input the Machine Name.
! Input the Modem Password.
! Set up the call window.
! Gather information for the central computer’s software.
Installing a Modem
A current list of approved modems and configuration information can be
obtained by visiting Arachnid’s website on the Internet at:
http://www.bullshooter.com
From Arachnid’s home page, choose Techsupport and click the Technical
Bulletins button. Under the Black Widow folder, open and view the file
Modem.pdf.
Once you have purchased and configured a modem, follow the directions for
installation under Expansion Cards (Page T2.3) in the Technical Section of
this manual.
Reconfigure Arachnet
Once the modem is physically installed, the machine does not immediately
recognize it. Running the Reconfigure Arachnet function (See page 8.8 )
allows the machine to find the modem and set it in the software as “online.”
The status of the modem (online yes/no) can be checked in the Test portion
of the menu system under Diagnostics. (See Modem Status page T1.5)
