Configuring DOS for Eterm for a Modem Connection

The first time you run Eterm, the Eterm for DOS main menu appears and you must enter

configuration data. You can change your configuration setup at any time.

Note: From the emulator screen, press Ctrl-Print Screen to access the main

menu.

The following options are available on the main menu:

• Quit – Quit Eterm for DOS.

• Continue – Close the main menu and continue using Eterm for DOS.

• Reconnect – Close the main menu and attempt to reconnect to the host system using the

current configuration settings.

• Configure – Open a dialog box to change the current Eterm for DOS configuration.

• Debug – Switch to the debugging screen, assuming that Enable Debug is set to ON.

Use the Arrow keys to select commands from the Eterm for DOS menu, and then press Enter to

execute the command. You can also type the highlighted letter of the command to execute it.

To configure Eterm for DOS for a modem connection:

1. From the Eterm for DOS main menu, use the Arrow keys to highlight the CONFIGURE

command, and press Enter.

The Configure screen appears.

Note: In the Configure screen, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to

select fields. Use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys to choose options

for the selected field.

2. In the PORT field, choose the COM port that your PC uses to connect to the host system.

The HOST field becomes inactive.

3. In the SPEED field, set the baud rate to equal that of the host TTY.

We recommend using 19200. Contact your system administrator for the appropriate

setting to use.

4. In the CONNECT STRING field, enter the modem commands and the host modem

telephone number that you want to use to connect, such as ATDT18005551234.

For valid modem commands, see the documentation that accompanied your modem. If

the CONNECT STRING field contains ^M, Eterm for DOS performs a carriage return

when processing the connect string.

5. In the PRINTER field, choose the LPT port or NONE.
