Winternals Software LP Page 8
Refer to your computer’s hardware manual for the correspondence between
I/O port numbers that are used by the applet, and serial connections on the
back of the computer.
6.1.3 Baud Rate
Specify the communications rate that is to be used between the host and the
client. Most computers can support the maximum serial rate of 115200 baud,
but this is dependent on variables such as the quality of the serial cable, the
speed of the host computer, and the type of serial controllers present on the
two computers.
If the client software displays a high number of retry operations (several
dozen over a few seconds), or if no communications is established when a
connection is attempted, you will need to lower the baud rate the next time
you connect.
6.1.4 Read-Only
This check box is present in the write-capable version of NTRecover.
Checking it results in a read-only mount of client drives, which is useful if you
want to ensure that the client drives are not changed in any way during an
NTRecover session.
6.1.5 Mount
After communications parameters have been entered, use the mount button
to make a connection between the host and the client. It is recommended that
you start the client before you direct NTRecover to attempt a mount, but it is
not necessary. If an error is reported, see the troubleshooting section.
6.2 The Statistics Dialog
Once a connection has been established, NTRecover will present a statistics
window [Figure 6-2] that allows you to monitor NTRecover communications
activity with cumulative statistics on all mapped client drives, or on a
