5 Establishing a Communications Link
A communications link can be established between the host and the client
after the following:
♦= Serial ports through which the connection will be made on the host
and client have been selected and identified
♦= A communications baud rate has been chosen
♦= The host and client have been connected with a null-modem serial
cable
♦= The communications parameters have been entered into the
connection dialog on the host, and the client software on the client
machine
A connection is initiated via the mount button on the host connection dialog.
The host will notify you when a link has been made and both the host and the
client will begin displaying communications statistics.
Drive letters that have been mapped on the host for the client drives are
identified in the statistics window on the host, and selecting one will display
communications statistics for the particular drive.
After a successful connection, you will be able to access the mapped client
drives as you would local or network drives on the host, through the Explorer,
from the command line prompt, and from other applications. Further, you can
run low-level disk utilities, namely CHKDSK, on the drives.
