1 INTRODUCTION
TeleShare/DOS allows you to run character mode DOS programs on
a remote machine from the computer attached to your keyboard.
The remote PC may be anywhere that you can setup a compatible
telephone and modem link. Teleshare is designed to fit into
your work instead of adding a whole new interface and new set
of work rules. This means that the Teleshare toolset is very
modular and changeable to meet your specific needs. TeleShare
also allows you to copy files in either or both directions
with Xmodem, and also allows you to use any number of external
protocols. We have background and simultaneous two way
utilities freely available. TeleShare is designed to provide
reliable most common denominator service; that is the mix of
capabilities to get most jobs done, with the option to add
'frills' as needed. It has a particular fit to some areas
that more well known products avoid. Particularly,
TeleShare/Host is smaller than most of the competition with
less reliance on advanced versions of DOS or Windows. It
takes about 8K itself, plus 6 to 8 for screens, without the
need for newer versions of DOS and LOADHIGH. This makes it
more suitable for modern memory hungry database, spreadsheet,
and word processing software that uses most of the available
lower 640K DOS memory and wants to use big chunks of higher,
over 640K, memory. Note that protected mode software like
MSWindows and dBase IV 2.0 do not run under the TeleShare
host/remote. TeleShare is designed for real character mode
DOS programs. You may also notice that timing sensitive
software like chkdsk, format, and running under MSWindows may
act 'quirky', because the Host/Remote resident software is
actually high speed multi-tasking and timing conflicts can
arise. Please avoid 'compressing' your hard drive and similar
timing sensitive activity while running Teleshare. If you do
such things remotely set them up in a batch file that shuts
down Teleshare, then restarts it afterward. You will often
notice such issues when you try to access a floppy drive while
Teleshare is resident. The tutorial/demo shows the Host and
Remote running under MSWindows at up to 38400 'baud', but more
reliably at 19200.
TeleShare fits Home/Business and Travel/Business needs with
its ability to get along with existing software and get the
job done. Most modems are sold with communications software,
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 3
and most such software has an "Escape or Shell to DOS"
function that will let you add-in, or share with, TeleShare.
You can setup, dial, and generally use your familiar existing
software and additionally or switch to TeleShare as needed.
You can even use TeleShare to make toll/billable business
calls on a two modem office PC while at home. We use it to
run Compuserve access software on the second PC from the
first. As you grow into it, you will likely discard chunks
and possibly add other software to develop something that fits
what YOU need. You can extensively customise TeleShare to the
point of making it basically invisible to your normal work if
you like.
Please see the REGISTER.DOC for product registration
information.
2 What you need to use TeleShare
- DOS 3.1 or higher
Communications hardware
- At least 1 standard PC serial port in both the HOST and
REMOTE computers.
- 1 auto-answer async modem for HOST.
- 1 async modem for REMOTE.
- ( Or ) Standard null-modem connection between the
computers.
- To use the modem sharing option you need at least 2 serial
ports and/or 2 standard modems on the HOST PC (modem sharing
means calling a second PC, then making calls from it). You
may also use a direct connection from one PC to another with a
modem to run the modem on the second machine. However, the
ANSI screen codes transmitted from a BBS on the third machine
are incorrectly filtered to both local machines. You may or
may not find the results usable depending on your needs.
The main remote control programs, TSH (TeleShare Host) and TSR
(TeleShare Remote) are described in this manual along with
general features the the remote menu. Other portions are
distributed with separate sub-manuals for faster specific
on-line access. This scheme allows for modular additions to
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 4
TeleShare or modularly adding TeleShare to other software
distributions. If you use or distribute a particular software
package that could benefit from including TeleShare go ahead
and do so. The basic package is small, non-intrusive, and
easily modified by adding other software for specific
purposes.
3 Basic Installation and Setup
Once TeleShare is installed on your computer system, make sure
the current directory (eg TELE) contains the TeleShare files
and run the TsSETUP.EXE setup program. Context sensitive help
for every setting is displayed on the bottom of each screen.
The bulk of the background explanations for TeleShare setup
are in the separate manual file called TsSETUP.DOC. Just the
highlights are included here. In general, TeleShare uses some
manuals instead of one so you can find things faster. For
example, please see the EXAMPLES.DOC for additional examples
using TeleShare with other dialers/terminals and file transfer
tools.
The TeleShare/SETUP catagories are:
General Defaults Security Remote Transfer Modem Sharing
The General Defaults catagory has the basic settings to 'get
you going'. Normally leave the settings at their defaults
except for possible changes to the Communications Port
(choices are 1 or 2) and the Baud rate (choices shown range
from 2400 to 19200, and any value in the 300-115200 range is
accepted). Normally you should check that the settings are
the same on both computers. If you are using a direct serial
connection, you might slow down one end or other (eg 65535 on
one machine and 115200 on the other) if one machine is
miss-behaving (especially with XT to 386 type connections).
The Security catagory has Yes or No and the access password if
you enter "Yes".
The Remote catagory lets you 'tune' remote access. You can
change the hotkeys, polling timing, and Host/Remote mode
indicator. Normally the defaults should be fine. If you use
a null modem connection you can increase the nominal baud rate
to something like 115200, and may prefer to change the polling
pause to something like 5 to speed things up.
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 5
The Transfer catagory basically only knows about the special
TeleShare/XMODEM transfer program, and LOG file settings.
Normally try using the default settings before customizing
unless you definitely want log files on or off. If you do get
file transfer errors, follow the TsSETUP instructions to get
back up to speed.
The Modem sharing catagory is designed to allow you to call
another PC and use a second modem on that PC to make calls.
This allows you to redirect toll charges and file transfers to
the other PC's phone number and computer.
Please read TsSETUP.DOC for more information on the setup
program. Its worth reading because it highlights many
TeleShare features in gruesome detail.
4 How to use the TeleShare HOST program TSH.EXE
Generally, change to the sub-directory whenever you want to
start either the HOST or REMOTE software and execute the
appropriate BATCH file. (TSHOST.BAT) for HOST program or
(TSREM.BAT) for remote. (The batch files are quite simple.
Look inside them to remove any mystery.)
Setting up the modem to answer the phone
TeleShare was written to work with other software including
your current communications software. This design allows it
to occupy a minimal amount of memory while you run memory
hungry applications. It was also written to be used with
non-Hayes compatible modems. This version of TeleShare
contains no Hayes specific initialization routines in the
Remote or the Host. This means that they make NO attempt to
set the modem to auto answer. The assumption is that you have
already setup auto answer with other software, such as SCOMM,
DIALER, or TELIX.
Here are some of the simplest ways to do this. (We're going
to cheat and include some other commands at the same time.)
1. Use one of the external programs distributed with the
basic TeleShare package to setup the modem for you, such as
SCOMM, AT.COM, DIALER, or DIAL. See the SCOMM.DOC, AT1-4.DOC,
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 6
DIALER.DOC, and so on.
Direct entry or a batch file works too.
The following line dials a modem on COM1.
"ECHO ATDT4335189 > COM1"
The next line sends a basic 'hangup' command to COM2.
"ECHO ATH0 > COM2"
If you want to tell your modem to answer on the first ring
use: "ECHO ATS0=1 > COM1" Assuming COM1. To answer on
the second ring use "ECHO ATS0=2 > COM1".
You can even send the initialization string to the modem
in the same way:
"ECHO AT&FE1Q0V0X4&C1&D2S11=55S7=70 > COM1".
If you put several of these commands in a batch file, some
will fail because there needs to be delays between commands.
You can use the 'delay' character as part of the command for
some modems, or you can use the DELAY.EXE included in the
distribution:
RESET.BAT
ECHO OFF
REM a sample batch file to reset and setup the modem
mode COM1 baud=9600 parity=n data=8 stop=1
ECHO ATZ >COM1
DELAY 1
ECHO AT&FE1Q0V0X4&C1&D2S11=55S7=70 > COM1
DELAY 1
REM Never answer the phone with ATS0=0
ECHO ATS0=0
DELAY 1
REM Load the remote TSR
TSR
You will likely find a SUBST.EXE that can be used to change
COM1 to COM2 and vice versa in batch files. Use "SUBST" by
itself to get its usage help. You can use "DELAY" to see its
usage help.
2. On a Hayes modem throw the DIP switch that makes the modem
answer the phone when it's ringing. Which one? See the modem
manual.
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 7
3. You should be able to use the communications software that
came with your modem. After all, it already 'knows all about'
the modem. You may be able to setup auto-answer then shutdown
to avoid conflicts with TeleShare. Its also worth exploring
this option at some point just to verify how much the two
pieces of communications software conflict. When you find
problems you will be able to avoid them in the future. You
can likely initially use the communications software, then
shell to DOS, and run TSH or TSR. If you have the
MARKNET/RELNET public domain tools, you can shell out, then
RELNET the communications software from memory and use
TeleShare (the non-network mark/release equivalents are not
recommended). Using combinations of communications software
can easily cause problems, which will lead you to exploring
the next option.
4. You can use the DOS MODE command to set the port
parameters and then use a DOS 'COPY' command to send the
auto-answer init string to the modem. These DOS commands can
be included in the batch file used to start the HOST program
and you'll never need to worry about them again once they are
correct. This allows you to setup the batch file to start-up
TeleShare and the major application(s) you plan to use it
with. You can also have TeleShare waiting in memory and only
startup the modem with a batch file when needed. This
customization flexibility is the major reason that the default
Remote and Host program setup uses batch files (see below).
Use the MODE command to intialize the port to the protocol
you're using or the modem string you are about to send won't
be recognized by the modem. Most of the time you can go into
the communications software that you normally use (or that
came with your modem) and see and test what it uses. Print
Screen its settings and put them in a file, say "DIALFILE" to
be used by the setup batch file with a command like:
COPY DIALFILE COM1:<RETURN>
The 'AT' type commands in the DIALFILE should end with an
<ENTER> or carriage return.
Starting the Host program
The TeleShare HOST program TSH.EXE is the one you need to run
on the computer you are attempting to access from remote.
This program is a TSR, or Terminate and Stay Resident program,
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 8
requiring only about 8K for the .EXE load module and will
politely stay hidden as long as it's loaded, and will start
helping you on command. Another 6-8K is held for screen
buffers. TeleShare screens are updated in batches instead of
trickles (like some other remote software), which means that
the screen buffers take more ram. The result is cleaner,
snappier, screen updates.
TSH.EXE monitors the PC and the modem and will allow the PC to
be used from remote once it senses an incoming caller.
You can always use the PC normally when TSH.EXE is loaded and
if someone is using the system from remote then they can see
what you do and you can see what they do with BOTH parties
having equal control of the PC and the keyboard. This meshes
well with uses like real-time training sessions with remote
callers. Or some forms of project coordination/group
calling.
Both TSH.EXE and TSR.EXE obtain their runtime parameters from
a file called TSCONFIG.CFG. This is a BINARY file and you can
only change the contents with the TeleShare/SETUP setup
program TsSETUP.EXE described above. The current file format
has changed to allow a 115200 baud limit for direct serial
connections (eg laptop to desktop).
To run the HOST program change to the TELE sub-directory you
created during the installation and enter the command
'TSHOST'. This batch file will load the TeleShare HOST progam
TSH. Once the program has informed you that the load was
successful it is OK for a remote user to connect with the
modem and start using the PC with the remote access part of
TeleShare.
There is no hotkey screen in the HOST program. It simply
installs itself in memory and does its job of allowing a
remote caller to use the PC.
Unloading the Host from memory
Enter "TSH U" from DOS to Unload the TeleShare HOST software
from memory. If you have loaded other resident software above
it, then it will only be able to suspend itself. Yes, you can
use a TSR manager like MARKNET/RELNET to rip the TeleShare
software out of memory.
5 How to use the TeleShare REMOTE access program TSR.EXE
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 9
You must use the special remote program provided (TSR.EXE) to
access the PC running the TeleShare HOST software (TSH.EXE).
This program is a TSR, or Terminate and Stay Resident, program
just like the TeleShare HOST program TSH.EXE. TSR.EXE is
itself called TSR and is a TSR program. If this proves to be
too confusing, just rename it. How about "mote", as as short
form of 'remote' and small?
There is a special batch file called TSREM.BAT which can be
used to start the remote access program. It is described in
greater detail below following the section regarding linking
up with the TeleShare HOST computer.
Linking up with the HOST computer
TeleShare was developed to be used with all kinds of modems
and not just Hayes compatibles. There are no routines built
into the software to initiate a dial-up to the HOST computer.
This helps reduce the runtime memory requirements. Some of
the following material will be somewhat repetitive if you have
read from the beginning.
1. You can use any modem software that allows you to place
the call then escape, or shell, to DOS without hanging up.
Once you are back in DOS, you can run the setup batch file
TSREM.BAT and press ALT-R (or whatever you have reset the
hotkey to) to access the TeleShare REMOTE program on the
remote computer.
2. SCOMM and DIALER are the main teleshare dialers in this
release. TeleShare now includes more than one dialing tool,
if you poke about. The idea is that you can then pick and
choose to meet your needs.
3. You can also link to the remote quite easily using the DOS
'MODE' command and a few "ECHO" (as show above) or 'COPY CON
COM1:' commands.
Use the MODE command and set the port protocol. Once set
correctly... Any 'COPY CON COM1:' commands will send the
strings you enter right to the modem. Use the standard
'ATDT???-????' string to initiate the dial and wait for a
connection. Check out the settings in the communications
software that came with your modem (or whatever modem software
you normally use) and copy their 'ATD_etc' commands.
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 10
Once the 'CARRIER DETECT' light is up on your modem or you
hear the connection established over the speaker you're ready
to run TSREM.BAT and begin accessing the HOST computer.
Other
See the EXAMPLES.DOC for examples using TeleShare with other
dialers/terminals and file transfer tools.
You can use our WIZARD utility to automate actions, including
automatic backups. It can often be found with the Hands On
remote access package, and you can ask us for a copy when you
register Teleshare.
There are many other straight dial/connect programs
available. Any one should do the trick provided it does not
drop CARRIER once it is established. Its likely more
important for you to use your existing dialing list for
dialing then to switch to TeleShare, so test out that option.
For example, TELIX allows you to exit once a call is completed
without hanging up.
If you have a DATA/TALK type async modem that is not Hayes
compatible then you can still use TeleShare. Just start your
hand set call in the usual way and once you've thrown over
from TALK to DATA and CARRIER is up you can load the TeleShare
REMOTE software and begin using the HOST computer.
This software can likely be used with higher speed
connections, but the maximum tested speed with a modem is
19.2K. Teleshare has been used extensively at 115200 baud
over a Lantastic null modem serial connection between a
monochrome 286-10 HOST and a VGA 486-33 with the 486 easily
handling information received from the 286 (both using 8250
serial chips). However, using the 486 as HOST is tricky with
incomplete screen updates on the 286. 38400 baud works okay
with the 486 HOST and slow 286 remote. Another trick is to
run one machine at a higher baud setting than the other.
Experiment and use whatever works. The best guarantee for
reliability over 9600 baud is to install 16550 serial chips.
For any speed you can use tap the ALT-L/ALT-R key set to
generate an updated screen when the remote screen gets
corrupted. You may prefer to change your default polling
pause (eg. to 5) from normal modem settings, if you use a null
modem serial connection .
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 11
Starting the REMOTE program
The REMOTE access part of TeleShare is the program you need to
run to access the HOST computer running TSH.EXE.
A special batch file is provided called TSREM.BAT which will
perform the load for you. Its main purpose it to allow you to
ensure the program loads from the correct directory, and
anything else that you wish to include in the batch file.
You should be in the sub-directory where the TeleShare remote
programs are located and enter 'TSREM' to initiate the load,
at least until you edit the TSREM.BAT to include an
appropriate change directory command set.
Once the title screen appears and tells you the load has been
successful then all you need to do to start using the HOST
computer is hold down the ALT key and press 'R' (REMOTE). If
you've changed the ALT-R key to something that makes more
sense to you via TsSETUP.EXE then press that key sequence to
contact the remote HOST.
You must already be connected before you press the hotkey or
nothing will happen! Worse yet, you can disrupt dialers by
thumping them over the head with remote access commands trying
to pry their way out the same serial port.
The remote portion of TeleShare is a TSR (Terminate and Stay
Resident) program. You can stay in your own DOS and simply
switch to the HOST computer's DOS at any time with the ALT-'R'
hotkey, which will bring up the TeleShare Remote access screen
on top of the current DOS task. Use the ALT-'L' (or whatever
you have reset it to with TsSETUP.EXE) hotkey to return to
'local' DOS.
Unloading the REMOTE from memory.
Enter the DOS COMMAND 'TSR U'.
This will instruct TSR.EXE to remove itself from memory. If no
resident programs were loaded after TSR.EXE then the memory
used by TSR.EXE will be returned to the total available. Run
TSREM.BAT again if you need to re-load the program.
If any TSR's were loaded after TSR.EXE then it will only be
able to suspend itself. It should whine at you in this case.
The RELNET utility can be used to scrub everything out of RAM
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 12
to meet your specifications (ask for it if you don't already
have it).
6 How a remote session works
Once you have pressed ALT-R to call up the TeleShare REMOTE
access screen the software will notify you that it is
requesting a 'session update' from the HOST computer.
If SECURITY is on then password(s) are verified at this time.
It is necessary to obtain a complete session update (including
a new video screen) each time you re-enter the hotkey terminal
screen since things may have changed on the HOST computer
since your last access. This only takes a moment or two and
you will then see the latest screen from the HOST on your own
screen. From this point on you are using the HOST computer as
if you were sitting in front of it.
There are a few things to keep in mind while using the HOST
computer
- If the HOST has a color monitor and the REMOTE has a
monochrome monitor then all colors on the HOST screen will be
converted to either HIGHLIGHT, NORMAL or REVERSE VIDEO on the
monochrome side.
- Keyboard echo will NOT be instant as it is when you are
using your own DOS. Whether or not the delay is noticeable
depends on the speed of the HOST computer, the baud rate and
the Poll Timer Tick Rate. Once you realize that no keys will
be lost you will find yourself typing ahead without noticing
any echo delay.
- DOS commands that scroll the screen rapidly will not appear
as they do when executed locally. The updates are slower so
the scrolling will show up in bursts with a momentarily
'frozen' screen between the bursts. Software that changes the
display with windows should appear normally. The screen
images are temporarily accumulated in the memory buffer then
blasted onto the monitor to avoid the 'watery' screen update
characteristic of some other remote software.
Access indicator ( Mode indicator )
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 13
Since the REMOTE program is a TSR and you can switch from your
local DOS to the HOST machine's DOS it's necessary to be able
to tell where you are!
When the REMOTE TSR is loaded there will normally be a single
character indicator in the upper right hand corner to tell you
where you which DOS you're actually using.
A highlighted 'L' - means you are using your 'L'ocal DOS.
Press ALT-R to switch to the REMOTE computer.
A highlighted 'R' - means you are using the 'R'emote DOS.
Press ALT-L to return to your Local DOS.
When you enter 'TSR U' and Unload the TeleShare REMOTE access
program then the indicator will disappear the next time that
portion of the screen is updated.
You can also turn the indicator off permanently by
reconfiguring the setup file with TsSETUP.EXE.
7 Modem sharing option
TeleShare has the ability to share a second modem attached to
the HOST PC with the REMOTE user. One modem is used to allow
the REMOTE PC to access the HOST. The other modem on the
other com port can then be used by the REMOTE as if it were
actually connected to the REMOTE. Any modem software can be
used on the REMOTE the same way that 'normal' software can be
run remotely. This allows you to load TSH.EXE on your
computer at the office and ( if it has another modem ) call it
from home and originate long distance calls to other systems
from the office. We use a variant of it here to dial up
another computer then run Compuserve access software on the
next com port, so the Compuserve charges match up with the
appropriate phone number.
Briefly, how to do it:
1. Load TeleShare HOST on your office PC before you leave. 2.
Call the office PC from your home PC. 3. Tell the office PC's
second modem to call long distance with the charges going to
the office number. 4. You can dial and upload/download files
normally.
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 14
A modem sharing session
In the explanations that follow and on some of the TsSETUP
parameter screens the term 'primary' port refers to the one
used to maintain contact with remote for modem sharing or
normal TeleShare sessions. The term 'secondary' port refers to
the com port with the extra modem attached which can be
controlled by the remote PC connected via the 'primary' port.
1. Make sure you have 2 modems on the HOST PC connected to
both COM1 and COM2. The modem that will be used to maintain
contact with the remote should be ready to answer the phone
and connect when it rings. ( auto-answer ON ).
2. Make sure all the TsSETUP.EXE parameters are OK. One of the
modems will be used to maintain contact with the remote and
the other will be the one controlled by the remote. Be sure
the desired port assignments and baud rates match the desired
hardware connection(s). TsSETUP.EXE will not let you assign a
baud rate to the 'secondary' port that is faster than the
'primary'.
3. Make sure you know what the designated signon and signoff
passwords are. You must enter the passwords to start and stop
the modem sharing session after you connect and they must be
entered exactly the way they've been defined with the
TsSETUP.EXE program 'over there'. Its a good idea to run
TsSETUP.EXE on the HOST and display the modem sharing
parameters to discover the current signon/signoff passwords.
NOTE: The default signon PASSWORD = TSSTART and the default
signoff PASSWORD = TSSTOP
4. Make sure TeleShare HOST program TSH.EXE with modem option
is loaded and resident on the PC with 2 modems.
5. Call the HOST PC from the REMOTE PC. If you are only
connecting to change the origin of your calls, you do not need
to load TeleShare on that machine. When the word 'CONNECT'
appears enter the 'modem sharing signon password. 'TSM OK'
will appear on the screen if you enter the password correctly
(case matters) and you can start your re-originating call.
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 15
The keyboard of the HOST PC will not operate as long as the
HOST modem sharing session is active. This prevents any HOST
PC interference with the modem sharing.
6. Once you are done, stop the modem sharing. If you need to
have a normal TeleShare session you need to restart 'from
scratch'.
7. Stop the HOST modem sharing session by typing your 'modem
sharing signooff password', which will cause 'TSM EXIT' to
appear on screen if you got your password right. This process
also unlocks that PC's keyboard.
8. Exit your modem program on the REMOTE PC. You may now load
( or re-load ) the TeleShare REMOTE program TSR.EXE and have a
normal DOS session with the HOST PC.
NOTE: The TeleShare REMOTE module TSR.EXE should never be
memory resident when you run your modem software with the HOST
modem sharing option. Don't run TSH.EXE and TSR.EXE at the
same time. Hey, they argue with one another, so lets keep
them separate.
If TSR.EXE is already loaded
-Change to TELE sub-directory.
-Enter TSR U to Unload the TSR.
-Change to your modem program sub-directory.
-Call the HOST with your modem program, start the
modem sharing with the right password.
-Continue your modem terminal session until done.
-Use the correct signoff password to stop the modem sharing
-Exit your local modem program.
-Change to the TELE subdirectory.
-Enter TSREM and reload the REMOTE module.
-Press ALT-R and continue your TeleShare session.
If TSR.EXE is NOT loaded.
-Change to your modem program sub-directory.
-Call the HOST with the modem program start the
modem sharing with the right password.
-Continue your modem terminal session until done.
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 16
-Use the correct signoff password to stop the modem sharing
-Exit your local modem program.
-Change to the TELE subdirectory.
-Enter TSREM and reload the REMOTE module.
-Press ALT-R and continue your TeleShare session.
Additional Notes on the modem sharing option
- If you receive the signon acknowledgement string 'TSM OK'
followed by an endless stream of garbage then this probably
means you only have 1 com port on the HOST PC. You must have
at least 2 valid com ports on the HOST PC to use the remote
modem access option.
- Every time you change the primary COM port assignment with
TsSETUP.EXE then you will notice that the SHARED modem COM
port selection changes automatically to the other COM port (1
or 2). TeleShare supports only COM 1 or 2 at this time and
the primary and secondary com port selections must always be
different.
- If you are using different baud rates for the modem sharing
option then keep an eye out for transmission errors. There is
no buffering of the data being passed and the success using
different baud rates depends mostly on the speed of your CPU.
Older machines's may have trouble using the modem sharing
option with different baud rates.
8 Other available programs
