-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few commonly asked questions and their answers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Q. Why is it that the first time I get into CILINK my mouse doesn't
work? It seems to work OK after I go into SETUP and configure
my COM port.
A. The most likely problem is that your mouse is setup on COM1.
The default CILINK.DAT file is setup to have the modem on COM1
so CILINK is looking for modem commands from that port rather
mouse commands. If you go into SETUP and setup CILINK to use
COM2 or whatever port your modem is on, then the mouse should
work properly. (Remember to save your configuration settings)
2) Q. When I use another communications program before using CILINK,
my modem acts strangely.
A. Try resetting your modem by typing "ATZ" in the terminal window.
You may want to put this initialization command in your modem
initialization string in SETUP.
3) Q. When I dial a bulletin board, characters are sent to the board
which I have not typed in.
A. You are probably executing a script without knowing it.
The sample phonelist CILINK.PHO has scripts attatched to some
of the numbers in the list. You can tell if a script is attached
to a phone number by pressing Alt-D from the terminal window
and looking at the far right-hand edge of the DialList. If you
see a script filename there you may remove it by pressing F9 to
modify an entry and then space over the entry for Autologon Script.
4) Q. I cant figure out how to automatically redial a busy phone number
every few minutes.
A. When you dial a number and get a busy signal, you will be asked
if you want to automatically redial the number every-so-often.
Supply the number of seconds to wait between redials and you are
off to the redial races. CILINK will alert you when it makes a
connection (unless you have specified /NoAlert as a startup option)
You may have set ATQ1 or ATX0 to turn off modem responses. CILINK
uses the modem responses to determine if the dialed number is busy.
Type ATZ from the terminal window to initialize your modem and try
it again.
5) Q. Do I have to get out of Cedar Island Link to edit a script?
A. No. Just press F7 from within the DialList to edit a script.
6) Q. I can't seem to make CILINK work on COM3. What did I do wrong?
A. You probably didn't do any thing wrong at all. CILINK sometimes
has difficulty detecting COM3 and COM4. If you are having this
problem, try starting CILINK like this: "CILINK /COM3". After
Cedar Island Link starts up, you can save the COM port in SETUP.
Thereafter you shouldnt have to use CILINK /COM3 to start CILINK.
Another problem might be that you are using a PS2 or a clone which
reports that it is a PS2. PS2's use different IRQ's and addresses
for COM3 and COM4 than other PC's. Try CILINK /PS2 and see
if that fixes the problem.
If these questions and answers haven't been enough to solve your
problem, you may call or write to us for technical support.
