═══ 1. Setup Location ═══ HyperACCESS Setup shows the default paths for the HyperACCESS program files and data files, and the amount of space required and available on the target disk drives. By default the two paths are the same, but you can set up HyperACCESS so that program files and data files are in different locations. To change either path, click its Change... push button. When you're satisfied with the paths, select OK. If you have a previous version of HyperACCESS for OS/2 installed in the same directories, the setup program recognizes it and requests confirmation to overwrite the program and/or data files. If you're upgrading from HyperACCESS Lite for OS/2, or HyperACCESS/5 for DOS and OS/2, you should install this version in a different directory. If you're upgrading from a previous version of HyperACCESS for OS/2, we recommend that you use the same directory to avoid confusion. Setup automatically saves your previous defaults and phonebook entries. ═══ 2. Directory for Program Files ═══ HyperACCESS Setup shows where HyperACCESS proposes to install its program files. If this location is acceptable, click OK If this location is not acceptable, enter the full path and name of the directory where HyperACCESS program files are to be copied. Then select OK. ═══ 3. Directory for User Data Files ═══ HyperACCESS Setup shows where HyperACCESS proposes to install your data files. If this location is acceptable, select OK If this location is not acceptable, enter the full path and name of the directory where HyperACCESS user data files are to be copied. Then select OK. ═══ 4. Existing Files ═══ HyperACCESS Setup has found existing files in the directory or directories you specified for installation of HyperACCESS files. You have four choices:  Go Back Select this choice to return to the Setup Location dialog. You can then specify different locations for installation of the HyperACCESS files.  Program Files Select this choice if you want only the program files installed at the location you specified.  User Data Files Select this choice if you want only the data files installed at the location you specified.  All Files Select this choice to confirm that you want HyperACCESS Setup to install its files in the location where HyperACCESS files already exist. ═══ 5. CONFIG.SYS Additions ═══ HyperACCESS Setup displays the additions it proposes to make to your CONFIG.SYS file. If you are satisfied with the additions, select Let Setup make additions to CONFIG.SYS now. When Setup finishes copying files, you will see a message telling you that the CONFIG.SYS changes have been made and your old CONFIG.SYS saved as CONFIG.BAK. If you want to make the additions yourself, select You make additions to CONFIG.SYS later. Setup proceeds with the installation. Even if HyperACCESS modifies your CONFIG.SYS, you don't need to reboot right away unless you want to run HyperACCESS from a command line location other than the HAOS2 directory. Starting HyperACCESS from the icon in its folder (or a desktop shadow of the icon in the folder) doesn't require the CONFIG.SYS changes. ═══ 6. User Information ═══ Information you enter in this dialog is needed for installation. It will also be used to log you on to the Hilgraeve Customer Support BBS. Use Tab to move from field to field. Enter your name, the name of your company, your address, and the serial number of the HyperACCESS program you are installing. You can find the serial number on the registration card or HyperACCESS Disk 1. When ready, select Continue. ═══ 7. Type of Connection ═══ Select the type of connection you will use most often with HyperACCESS: Direct Cable, Modem or Modem Pool, or TCP/IP. If you need to change this selection later on, you can easily do so from within HyperACCESS. You do not need to reinstall the program to change the type of connection. ═══ 8. Modem ═══ Scroll the list to find the name of your modem. If it is in the list, select it and then select OK. If the name of your modem is not on the list, select Not Listed. A dialog will be displayed where you can specify whether you want to pick a similar modem or add the name of your modem to the list. ═══ 9. Unlisted Modem ═══ You selected Not Listed on the previous dialog because you were unable to find the name of your modem in a list provided by HyperACCESS. Use this dialog to specify whether you want to pick the name of a similar modem (one made by the same manufacturer and with a similar baud rate, for example) or add your modem to HyperAccess's list. If you select Pick Similar Modem..., you will return to the Modem dialog that you saw before. If you select Add Modem to List..., the Name Modem dialog will be displayed. Note: If you arrived at this dialog because the exact name of your modem doesn't appear in the list, you are probably better off to choose Pick Similar Modem. For example, if you have a BogusCom 14.4EX that isn't listed, you should probably go back and pick an existing BogusCom 14.4HX entry. Select Add Modem to List... if no similar modem name appears or if you don't believe an existing entry is appropriate. ═══ 10. Name Modem ═══ Use this dialog to add the name of your modem to the HyperACCESS list. You can use the official name or you can make up a name. You must enter a name before selecting OK. If you select Exit, you will end the Setup program. Note: Modems defined using the Not Listed... button are stored in the file USERMDM.TXT. You can change the name, setup strings, and settings for these modems by editing that file directly. The beginning of the file lists guidelines for the proper format of modem entries within the file. This feature provides additional flexibility in managing user-defined modems beyond what can be achieved directly through the HyperACCESS user interface. For example, you can provide a USERMDM.TXT file to other HyperACCESS users so they can use modems you have defined. The file also enables you to specify additional settings beyond those available in the user interface, such as the message your modem displays when it establishes a connection. ═══ 11. Duplicate Modem Name ═══ The name you entered in the Name Modem dialog is the same as that of a modem already in the HyperACCESS list. You have two choices:  Select Use Listed Modem to use the modem name already in the list.  Select Enter Different Name... to specify a name not in the list. After you enter a unique modem name, the Modem Setup dialog will be displayed where you can enter modem setup strings and settings, or accept the defaults. ═══ 12. Modem Setup ═══ The Modem Setup dialog initially displays default information that you can change. The following information is shown:  Modem name The name of your modem as you entered it in the Name Modem dialog. This text is read-only in this dialog.  Modem Setup strings The setup string initially shown (1st string) is for a Hayes-compatible modem. There are fields for three more initialization strings.  Default baud rate The default baud rate, shown in a drop-down list, is 2400 bits per second.  Use hardware handshaking for flow control This check box is not checked initially. Although these settings will work with most modems, to operate sophisticated modems at their potential, changes are almost always necessary. To help you make appropriate changes, background information is included in this help topic. The setup strings and settings you enter in this dialog become the default values for your modem. When you have finished making changes, select OK to close this dialog. The About Initialization Strings An initialization string is a series of modem commands that software uses to configure a modem. Commands may be broken into two or more initialization strings to avoid exceeding the modem's maximum line length. In this dialog, you can enter up to four setup strings. Each string can be up to 40 characters long. The following information about Hilgraeve's predefined modem initialization strings is presented only as a guideline. You should refer to your modem manual for strings that follow these guidelines and are appropriate for your modem. Each time you place a call, HyperACCESS's predefined modem initialization strings begin by returning the modem to its factory default settings. Next, the strings set every detail necessary to ensure compatibility with HyperACCESS and the broadest possible range of remote systems. This configuration procedure is recommended as the most reliable and "well-behaved" approach in today's multitasking and networked environments, where the modem's configuration can be changed by other users or other applications without notice. The predefined initialization strings that HyperACCESS uses generally set the following details:  Recall the modem's factory defaults (typically AT  Echo commands (typically E1V1Q0).  Use extended AT commands (typically X3).  Use CD and DTR signals (typically  Use hardware handshaking RTS/CTS signals (may be or an S-register).  Use constant baud rate between PC and modem (may be \J0 or an S-register).*  Pass Xoff/Xon characters transparently (typically \X1).*  Negotiate with remote modem for highest connection speed and error correction mode (may be \N2, \N3, \N4, or an S-register).* *Applies only to modems that support speeds above 2400 bps. About Baud Rates The default OS/2 communications driver supports speeds up to 57600 bps. If you use another driver, refer to its documentation for information on its capabilities. To support modems that incorporate data compression, you should generally set this value to the next baud rate above your modem's rated speed. For example, with 9600 or 14400 modems, you should set to 19200, and with 28800 modems, you should set to 34800. About Hardware Handshaking Hardware handshaking is the process by which a computer uses lines in the RS-232 cable, in addition to those that carry serial data, to indicate to another computer when it is ready to accept data. Flow control is a means by which a computer or device that is receiving data can command the computer or device that is sending data to suspend and resume sending. Typical means of flow control are XON/XOFF and hardware handshaking. If your modem's speed is 9600 bps or greater, you should check Use hardware handshaking for flow control.

Type of interface This drop-down list shows valid connection types.  Com Port If you select Standard Com Port as the type of interface, either select the port from the available list or click the Don't Know... button to have HyperACCESS search for an appropriate port. Follow the instructions in the Test Port dialog. When you have completed making your selections, select OK. If you select Exit, you will end the Setup program. ═══ 14. Dialing Method ═══ This dialog enables you to specify whether you have Tone or Pulse dialing. Typically, if you hear beeps when you dial a number, you have tone dialing. If you hear clicks, you have pulse dialing. If you're not sure which button to select, check with your telephone company or in-house telephone system. ═══ 15. Dialing Prefix ═══ The dialing prefix dialog enables you to enter a prefix to be used whenever you dial from HyperACCESS. The number you enter here will be the default for all phonebook entries. Enter a prefix here only if you want to use it for all remote systems you call. For example, if you must dial 9 to get an outside line, enter a 9 in the Dialing prefix box. ═══ 16. Transfer Directories ═══ Use the Transfer Directories dialog to specify directories that you want HyperACCESS to use for receiving (downloading) and sending (uploading) files. By default, DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD are the names of these directories. You can enter other names if you like. The transfer directories will appear as folders in the HyperACCESS folder at the completion of setup. If you specify only one directory for both receiving and sending, only one folder will appear in the HyperACCESS folder. If the directories you enter do not exist, HyperACCESS creates them for you. If you rerun Setup, the existing folders are updated to reflect directory names entered during this execution of Setup. Changes to the upload and download directories that you make from within HAOS2 do not affect the folders. However, if later on you want to change the names of the transfer directories, you can do so by opening the folders' settings notebooks and changing the directories. And you can change the folder labels using standard OS/2 techniques. ═══ 17. HyperACCESS Ready to Use ═══ Once you start using HyperACCESS, if you want to change the settings you specified during Setup, simply select a Settings button or Properties/Communications from a menu. Select OK on this dialog to start using HyperACCESS. ═══ 18. Cannot Find User Directory ═══ HyperACCESS cannot find the file HA.INI, the presence of which identifies the user data directory. If you know the directory that contains HA.INI, enter it in the Directory field. If you are not sure of the directory path, select the Browse button to help you locate the file. To have HyperACCESS locate HA.INI for you, select Scan Disk. When it finds HA.INI, HyperACCESS will display its directory in the Directory field. ═══ 19. Directory Does Not Contain User Data Files ═══ The directory you entered does not appear to contain user data files. Unless the directory includes user data files including HA.INI, HyperACCESS does not recognize it. If you select Try Again, you will be returned to the previous dialog, where you can enter another directory name. If you select Use Anyway, HyperACCESS will try to make the directory into a user data directory. It will create a default copy of HA.INI. It will restore defaults in an existing DEFAULT.HAS file and place the New Phonebook Entry Template in the Main Phonebook and Host Mode phonebook. If no DEFAULT.HAS file exists, it will recreate this file. If other phonebook entries are present, it will put them in the Main Phonebook. It will put the Host phonebook entry in the Host Mode phonebook. ═══ 20. Recreate DEFAULT.HAS? ═══ HyperACCESS cannot find the DEFAULT.HAS file, which is the New Phonebook Entry Template. Although HyperACCESS prevents you from deleting this file, it might have been removed, moved, or renamed from outside the program. Select OK to have HyperACCESS recreate this file.
